There's God's justice - He must be "just" and allow a choice to have a consequence so that we face what we deserve.
There's God's mercy - He allows us to not alway face the full measure of our choices so that we don't fully face what we deserve.
There's God's grace - He redeems our choices and turns them into something we could never deserve.
Then there's the reality that He is holy and unapproachable - in His holiness He is terrifyingly awesome and beyond our gazes and glimpses.
Not to mention the reality that He is personal and approachable - in His incarnation He is surprisingly tender and tough, close enough to know yet far enough ahead to be our example.
What a mighty, mysterious God.
Here's the kicker...
He wants us to be just like Him!
Whoah.

Darn. Just when I'd managed to bring my daily blog reading back to a more managable level, I find your blog. There goes a few more minutes each day.
Great post by the way.
I'll be back. :)
