Some say they are unworthy of God's consideration, and they convince themselves that they are not acceptable vessels for God's grace or to do the Lord's will. My response to them is this... who are we to judge... even to judge ourselves? By what authority do we determine our worth? You see, we are saved because God loves us, not because we loved Him. Grace is a one-sided covenant that is given by God. We don't earn it, and yet we receive it. How wonderful is this gift of grace.

In today’s business world, and in modern life in general, it seems like the mean spirited, the devious, and the scheming people often prosper, and the righteous are relegated to a life of less, but that is only true when we look at the world through the eyes we have borrowed from it. When we see success as the world sees it, and value what the world values, then we find that we are ill-equipped for life within it. Our eyes should be the transformed eyes of Jesus, and our treasure should be eternal… is this how we are gauging our success in life, and view the blessings God gives us as we wait for Him?
