this is (for) us


At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
- Titus 3:3-7

It is a longer verse today, but well worth the read.
You know what is really sad, is that I can pinpoint moments in my life where I have lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating.
Moments in my life that just occurred in the last week, even.
How lucky are we that God sent His Son so that we are saved.
That even in moments of weakness and shame, He still loves us.
Wow.
I needed this today.  
Have a blessed day!
