The gospel is good news - God's message that He loves you even when you don't deserve it. It's not a story of God searching for one righteous soul, or being willing to meet sinners halfway. The news is so much better than that. God gives grace freely to people who don't deserve it at all - people like you and me. We are recipients of a descending, one-way love that changes everything.

As was the case for millions of other people, I first stumbled over Psalm 40 thanks to U2, the legendary rock and roll band. As the closing track on U2’s 1983 album entitled War, “40” capped a work marked by loss and lament with a hopeful note of longing.

Sorrow and suffering. Why would anyone write about such a thing or, worse, spend a month reading and doing the heavy spiritual work of meditating and praying through a devotional dealing with the most morbid machinations of the soul? In 2004, I moved to South Africa and came face to face with extreme poverty and the ravaging plague of AIDS. I held the hands of the starving and the dying. I cried out. Nothing changed.
