I changed it, however, because my soon to be x-wife told me that "but" made it sound more permissive towards the former term and "yet" made it sound more aggressive towards the latter term.
...She was right.
I am a sinner but I love Jesus. I am a sinner yet I love Jesus.
Often I find myself stuck between those two... Do you? At times feel cheap towards the grace provided by Christ and at other times see it costly (Bonhoeffer terms). It's a difficult struggle. It's one that requires a level of humility thats empowered by God alone (James 4:6). My challenge is this:
Read Psalms 7:3-5 and James 4:6. CLING to the "yet" term and not the "but" term.
God is good.
