Psalm 31

Psalm 31:7
I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,
God knows.  He knows everything.  He knows everything about everything.  He knows everything about you.  All those things you don't like about yourself, all those things you know you shouldn't do.  All those things you do anyway.  All those things you do unintentionally, but still feel guilty about.  God knows them all.

God has every reason to condemn us for our sins.  And yet, He doesn't immediately.  He has every right to burn you to a crisp, or erase you from history altogether.  He has every reason necessary to wipe out the entire universe.  By the way, He doesn't need a reason, He could do it regardless.  And yet, here we sit.  We should bask in His love and kindness, and be reverently grateful, because we certainly don't deserve them.
