By God's Grace Only

When our feet take us places we shouldn't go and our hearts develop attitudes that harden us, we sometimes think that God has lost sight of us. He's forgotten me...But you are wrong. God has set an everlasting love upon you that your behavior cannot change. What you must do is to turn around, humble yourself, and be broken down-and then look up. Acknowledge God's heart of grace and mercy toward you and come back. ~~James Macdonald~~

This is something that periodically happens to me. My feet take me places I don't want to be. Constantly waging war against the flesh. "The spirit is willing but the flesh is week." Something I've been admiring of the Lord is His matchless grace and mercy toward me. He's faithful to forgive me. He paid my debt without my asking, it's already been done. My task is to believe in the One Who paid it. When we get to heaven, no one will be saying.....It's because of me and what I did that got me here to heaven. By no means; they will say, I am here because of the blood of Jesus. We will here no boasting in heaven, no bragging as we might here on earth.
