Just me trying to be honest with God.

“For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them.” St. Augustine

It’s all grace where my life with God is concerned. I have no personal footing to stand on that merits His favor. What I cannot do, He has done in Jesus. Every good thing that I am able to do is a reflection of this. I am not earning a place in Heaven when I do something good. Eternal life is His gift to all who look to Christ. Doing good works like love is its own reward.  

“For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Conversations Within” ts 11/8/2020
