God's grace

There is nothing like the grace of God, to end the day, after bitty battles all day, with sharing the gospel. God is good, and God is sweet, merciful and loving. He still uses me for His plan and work, and counts me worthy for His kingdom work. Humility. How does His grace so abound? The day started off with a piece of a verse I've read over and over and memorized, yet was filled up with chewing on and digesting it today.

Context: I had 3 dreams last night wherein someone was strangely absorbed with themselves, at my (or someone close to me's) expense, and I woke up pondering the message of how it felt to be on the observing and receiving end of that...After reading this verse and being convicted of my own self-centeredness, I batted with this, along with my common struggle of hearing, discerning, and truly listening to (heeding) God's voice and guidance, through the day.

(from Philippians 2:3)

"...but with humility of mind, regard one another as more important than yourselves."


And our God, who is able and gracious, will, more than we can imagine, pour out these blessings in abundance on us: grace, humility, freedom, forgiveness, love, care, provision, work, exhaltation, hope, service, fruit, and participation in His kingdom works...oh what a freeing, humbling priviledge!
