Yep, that's what the Christian life is supposed to be. In fact, that's what it better be, or an awful lot of us are going to end up fooling ourselves. Miraculous …

That last paragraph hits me especially hard. You and Noah brought this up a few weeks ago in that Friday night teaching, and I've been thinking about it since. But not in a way that's like, "Yeah! I want God's righteousness! WooHoo!" I mean, it's easy to say that with words, but when it comes time to walk it out, this hurts like crazy. So I find myself being careful of what I ask for. If you ask God to give you His righteousness... He really will. I'm discovering just how self-righteous I am. Just how often I love to talk about my sacrifice and so forth. There's a whole lot of areas that I simply don't want him touching, and that's not okay. BUT!!! Every single time that I back my stubborn self down and let the Father handle me, and bring in His righteousness... in the end, it's miraculous. It's always worth letting Him do it.
