God decided to give us life through the word of truth so we might be the most important of all the things he made. ~ James 1:18 (NCV)
I'm amazed, Lord, that you would do so much for us. We don't deserve glory, honor, or status. This is especially true since we do not treat you with the glory, honor, and status that you, of all beings, deserve. That is something I regret. But any regrets are overshadowed by your generosity. I can't help but think of your kindness and I am going to give myself to living up to who I am. Amen.Challenging Words
