Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:10 ESV: But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
Are you trying to find your true self? Look to the GRACE of God. Living beyond the flesh of this earth and accepting God’s grace in the person of Jesus Christ we come alive in truth.
Like Paul we find out what we are. Paul knew he had worked hard but it was not work that created what he was. We find who we are, not by working hard, but only in what we are the grace of God.
Like Paul we can admit we are not worthy because it is not “I”. This is not our story it is God’s. May we live in it, tell of it, and share it. By the grace of God I am what I am. I am who I am in what I am.
I am God’s grace. When I live in God’s grace I am all I am to be.
Will you live what you are in God’s grace?
Today’s prayer: Almighty God, LORD of grace thank You for Your Son and thank You for Your grace. All I am is Yours. Please take my life story and turn it into Your grace story that will welcome others into Your love. Take my unlovable flesh and turn it into Your love and Your story of grace. I am giving You my unworthiness and welcoming Your grace. Please use what I am. Amen
