I've been reading through Judges lately. It amazes me the kind of people God uses to accomplish his will. People like Samson who was a selfish, short tempered, unforgiving liar and murderer. The Bible is full of these kind of characters. Sinners, murderers, adulterers, liars, and these are the prophets we honor like Moses and David! These guys should be spending their lives in jail. I don't get how God's holiness and pure love can fuse with such a base and dirty human being to accomplish something great. I don't understand it. I guess that's why I'm not God.

And just when I get to the point of questioning God for using people like this I'm forced to look at myself...Then I want to get on my face and thank God for his grace. I don't know if there are many things more beautiful than grace.
