Romans 9
"It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy"
Our relationship with God is about God. The relationship is not about me being good enough or working hard enough. The relationship is not about my earning God's love. The relationship is a gift that God gives to me. My role in this relationship is to merely receive the gift of mercy. As I open my life to God, the gift changes everything.

I hope that I never get so absorbed in what I am doing that I miss God right in front of me! A part of this passage in The Message says, "They were so absorbed in their "God projects" that they didn't notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road."
ReplyDeleteI praise God for His most wonderful gift of mercy and love that does change everything!
