WOW....pretty powerful and so true. There are so many mentions in the bible that salvation and going to heaven is not about the "number" of good things we do on Earth but more that we live our lives according to God's word. Obviously by doing that, we are going to have a number of good things that we do on to others. I think what caught my eye is that sometimes I do boast about the "good" things that I have done. I don't know why I want the recognition for these things but sometimes I do. Maybe it's more that the I want the appreciation more than the recognition. Either way I want to get better in not needing to tell others the good things that I have done but instead take that energy and put it into the good things that I am doing. Maybe then they wouldn't be good but would be great :)
Dear Lord,
Your everlasting love and mercy is something that I am not worthy of but I am so happy that it is there and that we do have it. I pray today for the strength to do great things in your name and that by doing so I am able to reach others for Christ, not so that I can boast about it and not so that I think that I have a free ticket into heaven, but so that others can feel this love and mercy as well. I am a sinner and without your son I would have nothing but because of Jesus I can be assured of a tomorrow that is better than this sinful world that we live in. Lord thank you for the strength to do these things in your name.
Amen
