TODAY'S VERSE
"For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am." I Corinthians 15:9-10
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Paul was called to be an Apostle, not because of his abilities, talents, riches or strength, but because of the grace of God. He knew he had persecuted the church and felt he was the "chief of all sinners," but even though he felt he was unworthy to serve Christ, he also knew that God's love overcame and forgave his past. We need to come to the same realization of what God's grace has done for us. By God's grace we have a personal relationship with God to become all He calls us to be. By God's grace we are forgiven of all our wrong doing. By God's grace we are accepted and living with a purpose. All of us have a calling. All of us, in one way or another are totally unworthy of being one with Christ, but then it is God's grace that calls us, not our works. Today, believe what Paul did. Love and serve God knowing, "But by the grace of God, I am what I am." Thank God for His marvelous grace that He has so freely given us.
TODAY'S PRAYER
Father, thank You for all the mercy, forgiveness, hope, peace, joy and love that is mine as a result of Your grace lavished upon me IN CHRIST JESUS. I give You praise and thanks in the glorious name of Jesus. AMEN
