We have a gentleman at our church, and every time you ask him how are you doing today, he always responds, "I'm doing better than I deserve." He may not feel his best and probably has a few things going on but what you hear from him is that he is grateful and blessed!
You know, his response should be how we all should look at our life. We should always be grateful. We are a child of God. A God that loves us provides for us and blesses us with His mercies every morning. His gift of grace is given to us over and over and sometimes in the same day. And, what a blessing it is that God does not deal with us according to our sins. "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities." Psalm 103:10
Our God is an awesome God and so very good to us. Every breath we take is from God. Every blessing we have had and still receive comes from God. Every sin we have done and have confessed has been forgiven by God. Don't you think it's time we start responding when asked how are we doing today with "I'm doing better than I deserve!"
Love in Christ,
Tera
