Good Morning,
I am so grateful to God for you. Thank you for your prayers, e-mails and calls; what a blessing you are to us. It has been a busy couple of weeks moving to Norman and having the Q transported to Lake Eufaula. We could not have done this without the help of so many, friends in Magnolia, friends in Norman and Lake Eufaula, and our family. How blessed we feel today, We love you all.
In my reading today I want to share this:
Self-Sufficient?
By David Jeremiah
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
When someone does something nice for us, instead of enjoying their kindness, it’s easy to start thinking of ways to repay them.
When we come to Jesus, we realize that the most important thing cannot be earned; the greatest gift can never be repaid. The truth is that nothing we do can add to or take away from the gift of salvation and a relationship with God. This is a difficult concept to grasp in our culture of self-sufficiency. Accepting this gift opens our hearts to God. As we meditate on His gentle kindness and mercy in the life and sacrifice of Christ, our thankfulness grows; and we are filled with joy. Today, thank God for His gifts and rest in the peace of accepting His provision.
The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation. - Charles H. Spurgeon
Have a great day, love you, pass it on!
Don
