Remember the first Nadir period. Neutrophil count at 100. Well, I am in the next one now. Last time my heart was challenged when I had to miss my daughter’s marathon. Here’s where my heart is going this time.
“You cannot go out around crowds for the next week,” says the Nadir Period. Do you know how much I want to go out? I cannot believe the fantasizing I’m doing. I’ve been thinking about buying new towels. Seems I have to have them NOW. I can wait in the car and Marc can go into Bed, Bath, and Beyond and buy the towels. I can approve the color via picture on the phone or after he brings them to the car. I want to get around this “law”. I must go out.
The Bible says we didn’t know we were sinning until the law came. Once we were told no, we understood our propensity to sin. It is my nature. You, Nadir Period, will not be the boss of me! And I say it to God all the time too. Breaking the rules about Nadir has dire consequences but no forgiveness. Breaking God’s law does too but in his graciousness he made a way for forgiveness. He sent his Son to bear the penalty. I exchange my rebellion for Christ’s obedience. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
Thankful for grace,
jane
