Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, from the depths of your soul:

“God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.”
(2 Timothy 1:8-9)

No matter how many times somebody tells me this
no matter how many sermons on grace I hear
it’s still hard for me to grasp, Jesus:

It’s You. Not me.

I believe that!

And it’s a good thing, too –

because if my salvation depended on my character and my track record
I’d go straight to hell.

If I was so full of myself

that I imagined I could present my credentials at Your gates
and gain immediate access to eternal life in heaven

I’d quickly discover that the eternal accommodations my own life had secured

were a horror beyond all nightmares combined.

Intellectually, I understand that.
But emotionally?

I’m overwhelmed that You love me this much.
