Beloved–
As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12)
As an 8-year-old I learned that Jesus came to save the world but I didn’t think that included me. Despite 4 years of weekly Bible classes, church every Sunday, and youth group attendance my heart was still hardened against a need for a savior by my sin of self-righteousness. Not until I reached my twenties, and having painted myself into a corner, did I call out for his mercy and grace.
I learned that a long or short list of sins didn’t matter it was either all or nothing and I couldn’t meet that standard. I praise God I don’t need to even try, I just had/have to rest in the work of my savior, Jesus Christ, son of God.
I pray for you daily to hear God calling YOU!
Luv Ya!
