Thumb's Up - Pardon

Query:   
I am dumbfounded,  God’s love  exists beyond human translation;
straight up, I know He knows better than me- what I need.
Why else would someone offer to die as payment for my sin?

Can I (in my hunger) plumb the depths of His salvation?
Only when I unearth my mind to the Holy Spirit’s feed.
As grace becomes mercy, I partake of service therein.

Reply:  
Trusting Him is the “thumb’s up” to guilt and frustration.
Understanding belief in Jesus’ sacrifice means I ‘ve agreed …
Peace, redeemed by forgiveness stands ready to plug in.
