But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do, that's what I pray to do every day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As we regularly spend time reading God's Word and talking to Him in prayer, we put ourselves in position for Him to do things in our lives we could never do on our own.
We experience God to the extent to which we love, forgive, and focus on the good in others and ourselves.
We can't do every good thing there is to do in the world. Too many Christians live under the terror of total obligation, thinking every act of injustice, every opportunity of ministry, and every urgent appeal are our responsibilities.
It's easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.
Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.
Prayer doesn't just change things - it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
If we focus on loving others the way God does, scripture says that we will be fulfilling His whole law.
I pray that all polar opposites learn to agape love, live, and work together as brothers and sisters - or perish as fools.
Once more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.
