Amazing Grace.

For years, I felt as if I had to earn grace.

And I never could.

Because grace is not something to be earned.

"And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." Romans 11:6

I thought I was not good enough for God's grace

But by thinking this, I was really saying that God's grace was not good enough.
What a horrible lie to believe.

When I accepted Christ as my Savior years ago,

and then rededicated my life to him after ninth grade, I acknowledged grace.

But lately God has really been reminding me of it.

Because I don't deserve and can't earn Jesus.

 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" 2 Corinthians 12:9

In the Hillsong documentary, a quote caught my eye:

"He loved me when I was useless to Him"

Wow.

That's what makes believing in Christ so wonderful.

It takes such a burden off my life.

I'm not following Christ so I can earn heaven or salvation or love.

I follow Him because I love Him.

Because He loved me first.

"If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking."
