I am unworthy of my salvation. I am not worthy to go to Him in prayer. No matter what I do, my deeds and words are filthy and I defile everything that is holy. I cannot do anything to earn His love or even be pleasing in His site. There are no words that I can say. There is no gift that I can bring, to lay before His feet. I am not special above anyone else because of what I do or what I say or how I say it.

It is only by His grace that I am saved, and I have a difficult time comprehending that grace.

You are no more special that I am and I am no more special than you. We are all pitiful creatures, but He loves us. I don't know why or how.

So stop feeling superior to others because of what you do or say or how you say it. Without grace...without His grace, we are nothing at all.

Some people get so wrapped up in their particular doctrine to the point they do not know who He is. They have no relationship because they are too busy trying to do the right thing. He knows I am a scallawag and I don't always do the right thing, but He loves me and likes to spend time with me.

I don't understand His grace. I don't know why He loves me, but I'm so glad He does. So, if I am not like you, I can accept that and He can accept that. Why can't you?
