Our pastor was in the book of Daniel yesterday, and as I was flipping pages in my Bible to get to where he was at, I came across this verse:

 

“O my God, listen to me and hear my request. Open your eyes and see our wretchedness…We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful.”

Daniel 9:18 (NLT, emphasis mine)

 

All we have been given has nothing to do with us. We deserve nothing. We have been gifted with much–because of Him.

 

Have a great week!

    Ahh….so true. Some days the sheer grasp that He loves me and offers forgiveness in spite of everything astounds me!

      That’s how I felt when I read this verse! Amazement and a sense of awe and gratefulness.

    Ahhh…so true. I have been praying for days for my uncle to get back to his old self…and then wondering, “why should God answer this prayer?” Who am I to ask this?

      I’m praying for your family!
      I’m so glad we can come to Him based on who He is rather than who we are. It’s comforting to know that his character never changes!
