 We don't begin with pleading. We don't begin with begging. We don't begin with trying to convince God to hear us. We begin knowing I'm accepted. I am welcomed into His presence, not because of anything I have done, because of what Christ has done. Jesus paid the price. I live in His perfection. I stand in who He is. I'm seated with Him in heavenly places and I can enter boldly now into the throne room of grace. And so when we approach God with this bold faith, with this certainty, with this confidence in the finished work of the cross, we know that God is not hesitant. God does not have reservations. God is not just barely putting up with us. You are His child and you can enter boldly.
