Sometimes I sit back and think….”what a crappy thing I did!”. Seriously. We can’t help it. It’s in our nature to be ugly people. If I really think about it…I bet I would lose count I sin so much every day. So when I think about it…I don’t think that karma is on my side. Answer a couple of these questions…
How many times do we talk about someone behind their back?
Who do you put down to make yourself look good? At school? In your job?
How many times are we “ok” with bad things happening to others when we justify that they’ve deserved them…or brought it on themselves?
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. He has created us in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago
Ephesians 2:8-10
WHEW! I feel relieved, but confused all at the same time! He loved us SO much that salvation is a gift…not something we have to “qualify” for. All we have to do is accept it. Let go. Let God. We dont have to worry about finding an identity in this world…he has created one for us! He has a plan for each one of our lives!! So awesome! But it just leads me to my struggle with one word…GRACE. I love it. By God’s grace we are saved if we believe, and live for it. He didn’t ask for things in return…just that we honor Him with every day! I absolutely struggle with grace.
I didn’t give grace to the guy that swerved in front of me today on the way to the office…
I didn’t give grace to the person who forgot to file for a change of address…so I get mailings meant for him….for the past 3 years!
I’m not perfect at all. As a matter of fact….I SUCK. The cool thing about it is that God loves me. My “suckyness” and all. So in the end…I don’t think that it matters if karma is on my side…God is.
