Unworthy Acceptance

"God adopts us out of his free love, not because our character and record shows us worthy to bear his name, but despite the fact that they show the opposite. We are not fit for a place in God’s family; the idea of His loving and exalting sinners as He loves and has exalted the Lord Jesus sound ludicrous and wild- yet that, and nothing less than that, is what our adoption means.” - James I. Packer

Found this quote this morning while working on a paper for my grad class. Such a good reminder that we are SO undeserving and yet God accepts us fully.
