“I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” Rom 10:20
Once you come to grips with just how filthy of a scumbag sinner you really are, you should be extra excited when you think about the grace and the forgiveness God gives you every second that your breathing! Thank you Lord!! I am a completely undeserving person to receive a gift of this magnitude. I could sit for hours telling you reasons why there is no way that, this gift is for me… That is why my mind gets blown every time I sit and think about it. God knows everything you have ever said, and done and He even knows the things I only think about doing. And in the midst of all that He comes down in the body of Jesus and gives us direct access! He gives us freedom! I no longer have to worry about being successful enough to deserve God! No longer do the past sins weigh me down and paralyze my spiritual life. With faith I accept that gift and with Jesus helping me every step of the way I will try to live my life as a tribute to Christ for what He has done for me!
6 But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless]. Rom 11:6
God didn’t pick me because I was special or because I’m super spiritual or better than anyone else. No, He gives grace to those who He gives grace to. I am just so thankful! Thank You Lord!
APPLICATION:
Do not forget where I came from and don’t forget how much God has done for me! Be humble and thankful at all times! Stay full of scripture with the filter in place! Let my thankfulness to God fuel a life that brings Him glory! Give back by serving others! Pray more. Thank You Lord!
IN HIS NAME!
