What If the God You Fear Has Been Running Toward You All Along?
What does God think of you when you fail-again? Most of us instinctively brace for disappointment, imagining a divine eye-roll or cosmic frustration. We picture God as perpetually exasperated, arms crossed, waiting for us to finally get our act together. But what if everything we've assumed about God's heart is backwards? What if the very moment we feel most disqualified is when we're most qualified to approach him? This isn't wishful thinking or therapeutic spirituality-it's the startling claim at the center of Christian faith, yet one we chronically forget. Across the entire Gospel narrative, Jesus describes his own heart exactly once. That singular self-revelation deserves our full attention: "I am gentle and lowly in heart." Not "I am holy and exacting." Not "I am disappointed and distant." Gentle. Lowly. These words unlock something revolutionary about the divine heart-something that runs counter to every religious instinct we possess. When Scripture speaks of the "heart," it refers to the central animating core-what defines and drives a person. Jesus reveals that at his very center, he is gentle (meek, not harsh or reactive) and lowly (humble, identifying with the broken and socially unimpressive). This isn't a strategy or a phase; it's his essential nature. The word "lowly" speaks to Christ's radical accessibility. Despite resplendent glory and perfect holiness, no one has ever been more approachable than Jesus.
