Lucky?

Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:28-29



So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

WE ARE LUCKY?
*Lucky that God's understanding is so great.
*Lucky that God is patient with us as we work through our sins.
*Lucky the our sins are forgotten through forgiveness, and everyday can be a new beginning. His mercy's are new every morning,(Lamentations 3:22-23)and He remembers our sins no more. (Hebrews 8:12)
*Lucky that God loves us more than anything and gives us that love instead of what we deserve.

Lucky by definition is having or receiving something by chance. So really we are NOT lucky at all because God made a choice. God chose us!

*It is by God's grace and love He chose to give great understanding.
*It is by God's grace that He is patient with us as we work through our sins.
*It is by God's grace that WE ARE SAVED AND FORGIVEN through JESUS CHRIST and everyday IS a new beginning.
*It is by God's grace that that He loves us more than anything and He freely gives us that love instead of what I deserve.

Grace by definition is to GIVE by choice, kindness, mercy, love and compassion, even when undeserved.

Thank God that I am not lucky, because I wouldn't want to receive forgiveness by chance...I want it because a loving God chose to give it to me.
