Analo-gee, I never thought of it that way...

     A few days ago I was pulling out of a parking lot to make a left turn and by accident, cut off another car. I didn't see her and said "i'm sorry", "my fault" and gestures to admit my fault. She held her angry gaze and even after all my admission of guilt, she would not let down her "mad dog" face at me. It was as if I had done her an inexcusable wrong and she was not going to let me off the hook that easy. 

Shortly after this happened I had picture in my mind of how sometimes we view God like that woman. We do something wrong, intentionally or not, admit our guilt and say sorry yet, think God still holds us to his wrath for our wrongdoing when in reality the admission of wrong and guilt is exactly what draws us nearer to God. I am thankful for that reminder.
