There is something within the human spirit that yearns to please God. Some of the world religions pray five times a day. Others believe we come back in other lives until we get it right. But we never get it right. We all fall short.
God doesn't ask for us to prove ourselves worthy. None of us are. He doesn't need us to check off our "Godly duties" each week as if we are doing Him a favor. He placed the stars in the sky. He created all things. And,yet, He is mindful of us. He loved us enough to become one of us.
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans5:8
Jesus died for you because He loves you. There is nothing you can do to deserve it. You can't work to attain it. It just takes faith. A bit humbling isn't it? Maybe it's time to fall to your knees and accept it. His glorious unmerited favor. His grace.
Jesus,
We bow to You with eternal thanks and praise for what You have done. Your gift of salvation opens our hearts to a world filled with love. There are no words big enough to show You our gratitude.
Amen
