Miami Shores Baptist Church

Motives are everything. People may see the outside, but God sees what's really going on inside of us. Why should we consecrate ourselves to the Lord? Consider who He is. He is holy. He is entirely sincere, utterly incapable of deceit. He is sees us through and through, and still loves us--wants us! He is humble. He kneels and washes the feet of the very person who would betray Him. He is terrifying. We are held together in His hand, with every act of rebellion open in His eyes. He is gentle. Though He could crush us with one word of His mouth, instead He desires to use His power to bring healing and restoration. Oh that our hearts may know this gentle, holy, yet terrifying Savior.
