A few years ago I become aware of the fact that it is truly amazing how long our Creator allows us to live. So early in life we begin to rebel against Him. These body's we are encased in wreak with depravity and are so far from their potential. It is often hard to believe (but I certainly do) that we humans are made in the image and likeness of God. It is so easy to see our failure, weakness, depression, and sorrow.
Today I want to publicly acknowledge my thankfulness to Jesus Christ for creating, sustaining and preserving my littlest girl Grace. She turns 1 today. We had an incident a couple months ago where she got a penny lodged in her throat and she could have easily died. Her life was spared from that. What is truly amazing though is not that God spares us from accidents, but that His Grace is sufficient to spare us from the incredible wrath we earned for ourselves by not trusting and following Him.
Thank you Jesus for your great love and the grace which you constantly pour out on us. We do not deserve it! I do not deserve it!
