that which i deserve not at all

on behalf of 1-24-2015

Ephesians 2:8 NIV
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

God has gifted me with more than i could have possibly ever imagined and i must remember that i have to trust HIM.  that is the only way that i can die unto myself and delete self-interest from the vocabulary of my actions which so contradicts the mandate of love upon me for the servitude of God and others rather than myself.  this goes along so perfectly with the attitude of service and of allowing the Lord to be my master and lead me to whichever cross I am designed to bear in His name.  this is a gift.  the opportunity to be a martyr for You would be a most high honor.

i have not been saved by my own hands, but rather by the grace of God--in receiving that which i deserve not at all.

in good faith, i will continue to pursue God and know that he will do all things in his own timing and that i need not fear for anything of myself.  everything will work itself out and he takes care of the birds and flowers of the field.  should not he be ever more vigilant of his beloved children and watch over them?  i should think so and worry not at all.
