I am small, God of all; but for Your grace I am what I am. The encouragement I cast comes directly from Your Scripture. This is the Book that speaks of the uplifting promise of eternal blessing and life from cover to cover. Your Word is truth and life, just as Jesus is Truth and Life.
Thank You, Father, for Your grace and forgiveness that brought me to a place of repentance and faith. Thank You for giving me a godly purpose and a new job description as Your servant.
Thank You, Jesus, for granting me eternal life to spend with You. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your constant presence within my soul. I am raised from a pit of despair and abuse to a place of telling others of the joy and encouragement of Your salvation. Be glorified in my walk today in the name and authority of Jesus, according to the Father’s good and perfect will. Amen.
“For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15: 9-10 NKJV)
