No matter who, or what, we were when God saved us, we were nothing until God saved us.  Who you are now is because of WHOSE you are, and it is only because of His grace which works in you powerfully for His glory.  Therefore, never forget where you came from…and Who brought you to where you are…and Who will take you to where you’re going…and that is something to be truly thankful for!

 

1 Corinthians 1-26-31

26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things–and the things that are not–to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before Him. 30 It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God–that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

 

1 Corinthians 15:10

But by the grace of God I am what I am.

 

“It’s not about me. The power is in God, it’s in the message and I now realize I need to be vocal about it… God uses flawed people to spread the message of His Son; if He can use me, He can use anybody. Whatever you do in life becomes the platform for your faith.” ~ Jase Robertson

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
