The Power of Grace

But we are all as unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6a We've all heard this before, but meditate on it for a moment. Think of every good thing you've ever done, all you best moments. They are as filthy, putrid rags. Now think of every terrible thing you've ever done, everything you're ashamed of, things you hope no one ever finds out. God saw you then and loved you. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we where still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8. There's a quote that I've heard may times: It wasn't the nails that held Jesus to the cross it was love. God has done so much for you, never forget that. He chose you despite the flaws and failures because He saw who you could be in Him.
