I am a Sinner

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9

In this reference, the writer is describing that the Lord is not slow in coming again.  He said He would come again, yet some wonder when and why He hasn't come already.  So the writer explains that time as we understand it is not the same to God (v8) and follows with this verse. 

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise," in fact, the Lord has already kept every promise.  We may not be aware of it yet regarding prophecies, but trust me, they have all been fulfilled.  But even better, His promise of bringing a redeemer, a Savior, a Christ, or a deliverer has already been fulfilled and if we believe it He is not slow in bringing us redemption, reconciliation, salvation, or deliverance from who we are and what we've done. 

Most people focus on  what they've done or what others have done.  I find in reading about Jesus that He did not do that.  He focused on the simple concept that everyone He was in contact with was a sinner.  The size or quantity of the sins didn't seem to matter, although I get an idea that He was more contradictory to the church leaders over their idea of being cleaner than others than of the most vile sins of the common people.

We should never lose the focus of being able to stand in front of a mirror and say out loud, "I am a sinner!"  Can I say this to myself?  "I am a sinner!"  "I am a sinner!"  "I am a sinner!"  It is difficult to say to yourself at first without crying.  But then, you accept it.  And once you do you immediately see how precious Jesus, your Savior is to you, and like Jacob who wouldn't let go of God, you won't let go of Jesus.  Good thing is, you don't have to, God is "not slow in keeping His promise ... instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
