Why Can't I Be Perfect Now?

Well, God doesn't always answer those why questions, so I'm going to start by saying that what I'm about to write is just a guess on my part. A clue that I see is Romans 11:32: "God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all." Of course, if we never sinned, we would never experience God's mercy because we wouldn't need it. If we earned God's love, we wouldn't see how deeep His love is. We wouldn't see that He is the God who loves His enemies and is kind to unthankful and evil people. It seems that God considers the display of His mercy a higher priority than the immediate perfection of His people. Ummm, I could find myself disagreeing with God on this, since sin can be so messy and SO hurtful, but, as the next verse (Romans 11:33) points out, God's wisdom is unfathomable. My wisdom isn't unfathomable, so I'm just going to enjoy all that mercy. Thank you Lord!
