Psalm 85

The core of our nature is steeped in sin. We have no righteousness in us. Therefore, holiness and truth are absent as well. God desires the companIonship of people he has remade but what do we have to offer him that he does not have to impart to us? There is a trait that is strongly evident in our nature; loyalty. We will remain loyal to a fellow sinner. We will stay true to an abuser. If we can turn that loyalty toward God then he has something positive to work with; a foothold that he can build upon.
