Better Than I Deserve.

                                                                    Better Than I Deserve.


This is a Heart/Mind that is Grateful, for God’s Grace.


For it is “by grace” you have been saved, through Faith-and this is not from yourselves, “It Is The Gift of God”, not by works, so that no one can boast.  (Ephesians 2:8-9)

So now “they will receive the trouble that they Deserve”,  Their own wicked ideas will make them sick.  (Proverbs 8:31)


None of us really “Want What We Deserve”; for we all Deserve Death.


God’s Grace Leads to a Grateful Spirit.

A Pride Filled Spirit leads us to “Get What We Deserve.  

If we had a thousand tongues, “We Could Not Thank God Enough”.


Deserve - “Meriting” a reward or punishment based on actions (works), often relating to justice, repayment, or being worthy.


Grace - God’s “Unmerited”, undeserved favor, love, and kindness toward humanity, “freely given to sinners rather than earned”.


The Conversation.

A man asked a man; “How are you doing”?  The man answered, “I Am Better Than I Deserve”.  The man responded, don’t say that, you deserve good.  The man said, you’re kind, but you don’t understand.  He went on to explain, this is the way I look at life.  When I put “what I have done” on the scales with “what I should have done”; I am “always to light”; for even my best efforts are like filthy rags in God’s Sight.  I do not feel sorry for myself, “I Am Grateful”, for I know that I Am Saved by Grace.  The man said, “I To, Am Better Than I Deserve”.  The man said, Amen.


Pride says, I Deserve to Receive Good.

Grace says, Thank you Lord, for not giving me “What I Deserve”.

Now, Ask the person you see in the mirror; “Are You Better Than You Deserve”.


Our Daily Nugget is Paul and Solomon saying to us;  that we are not Receiving what we Deserve, and therefore, we should be Grateful and Thankful.  Ask God to Bless you with the Humility to “See Yourself, the way He See You". 


Then, you will See that you to, are 

“Better Than You Deserve”.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”.

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
