Just me trying to be honest with God.

It is good to have reminders and one in particular--that grace alone defines our standing with God.

“For by grace are you saved by faith and that not of yourselves.” Eph.2

No one likes to be reminded of how utterly sinful they are but we still need it from time to time. I need it because after being forgiven, my pride starts to creep back in and I start feeling smug because of something good I might have done. I am sure God is pleased when His children do good but we need to make no mistake about it, our only standing with God is because of His grace.  Conversations Within” ts 4/22/2014
