Thinking Out Loud

I don’t have to do anything? There is nothing I can do to earn God’s love? There is nothing I can do to earn my salvation? It has already been done for me? God loves me unconditionally and Jesus has already secured my salvation. That’s hard to understand and harder to believe. How can this be? All I have to do is to NOT reject His love and NOT reject his salvation gift. This is just too good to be true but apparently it is. So…how can I not love Him? And how can I possibly reject His gift?

But I do…with my words and my actions. The way I treat others and the way I talk to them. Why am I always being so judgmental? I am always pointing my finger at someone else. Thinking…how can they be that way. But what do I know? It seems I am always trying to do God’s job. It’s a good thing I am not God...then thing would really be screwed-up.


Thank you, Lord God, for being my God.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gift of salvation.

Please Lord, help me to understand what I don’t have to do to show my appreciation for all that You are and for all You have done for me.

Amen
