It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that I am sanctified.<BR/><BR/>It is through the humility of knowing that only God makes us worthy and acceptable and that all blessings are through him that we keep the perspective on just what He's done for us.<BR/><BR/>Now, we also have to know that we are his workmanship and that He made each of us for a purpose. From that end, He delights in us. <BR/><BR/>There is a difference between humbly knowing we need God for justification and to ensure our destination and being self deprecating. I meant the former, not the latter as you so wisely seem to think.Vicki A.

My curiosity is in wondering if he expected those flaws to accomplish something.justachristianwww.newchristianvoices.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19330160.post-50840371874709915202008-08-05T22:28:00.000-04:002008-08-05T22:28:00.000-04:00It is amazing that we serve and fellowship with an all-powerful God. He is the author and creator of our lives.<BR/><BR/>I love these verses. It reminds us that we are never alone.

Since I know I can't hide, I just say how I feel, confess if I need to, and put it out there. To me, it's freeing knowing he already knows. I can talk about life's struggles intimiately with a God who already knows what's in my heart. It's a comfort.Laurienoreply@blogger.com
