Better Than I Deserve.

                                                                  Better Than I Deserve.


Thank God for His “Amazing Grace”.


He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.  (Psalms 103:10)


For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, and all are justified freely by “His Grace” through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:23&24)


For He knows our form; He is mindful that we are nothing but dirt.  (Psalms 103:14)


Even our 

Best Efforts are like Filthy Rags before God, but, He Wants our Best Efforts.


Our Daily Nugget 

scriptures are reminders that we should always be Thankful and Grateful, and that “We All” are “Better Than We Deserve”.  We might like to think that we are “not so bad” and “that we can try to do better”; that is admirable but it is worldly and worthless.  God says, the Heart/Mind is wicked, above all things, who can know it?


The facts are: God is So Holy and Pure, that we could not even look on His face and live; and we know and understand so little, compared to all knowledge.  No one can “Change The Past”.  Even if we could change the past, it would do us no good, as “Our Best Efforts are Like Fifty Rags Before God”.


God Loves Us and Sees us as Righteous, 

“Due to Our Faith in Jesus’, not based on what we do, but “What We Think”. 


We could not Do Enough Right to be Considered Righteous by God.  No one can Save Themselves through Doing Right.  Our Salvation is due to “God’s Amazing Grace” and our Faith in Jesus the Christ. To understand that “We Are Better Than We Deserve” leads us to Be Thankful, Grateful and Humble, with a Heart/Mind Fixed on “Pleasing God” by “Loving the Lord and Loving Our Neighbors.  Humility is essential to a Thankful and Grateful Heart/Mind.


God gives us Grace Freely, we should give One Another Grace Freely Also. Give and “It” shall be given back until you, multiplied, pressed down, shaken together and running over, “Shall We Receive”; even Grace.


The Heart/Mind that is Thankful that they are “Better Than They Deserve”,

is a Heart/Mind “Ready to Represent Christ”. 


“Represent Well”!

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 ...

Come.

                                                                                  Come. The Spirit and the Bride says, “Come”. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come”!   And let the one who “Hears” Come!   Let the one who is “Thirsty” Come”; and let the one who “Wishes” take the free gift of the water or life.   (Revelation 22:17) This is a “Call” for all to “accept the gift of eternal life offered through Christ! Our Daily Nugget is letting Kingdom Citizens know that we “Must Be About Our Father’s Business” of Sharing the Invitation to “Come” with everybody we can.   We do this through our Living and our Words.   What we Do speaks so loud, till no one hears what we say.   Our saying is the Destiny of our Thinking; doing is a natural follow through. To Think ...

Train The Brain.

                                                                     Train The Brain. We Train Our Brain Every Time We “Think”.  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, “Think On These Things”.  (Philippians 4:8) Let this “Mind” be in you, “Which Was Also in Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 2:5) Victory and Defeat, Life and Death, Lies In Our Thinking;  “In How We Have Trained Our Brain”. Our Daily Nugget is written by Paul.  A look at “Saul’s and Paul’s” Life, gives us a perfect picture of the “Fruit of Training the Brain”.  To Train the Brain by thinking on worldly things ...
