Because you took seriously the doom of judgment I spoke against this place and people, and because you responded in humble repentance, tearing your robe in dismay and weeping before me, I’m taking you seriously. GOD’s word. ~ 2 Chronicles 34:27 (MSG)
I’m the least important of the apostles. I don’t deserve to be called an apostle, because I harassed God’s church. I am what I am by God’s grace... ~ 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 (CEB)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We maintain our relationship with God through honesty and humility.
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for reaching out to me -- even though I'm not the best version of what I could be. Forgive me for shutting you down through my indifference to what is important to you. Give me the focus and energy to turn from everything that is contrary to you and to find myself completely in your presence. I'm going to savor your grace. In the name of Christ Jesus, my Savior, Amen.
