Grace

When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m too much of a sinner to be around you.” (Luke 5:8 NLT)

Sometimes when I feel like I am lacking and I start the self reflection of "God where did I go wrong?". But our life together is not about wrong turns that bring punishment and good turns that bring rewards. It's about grace...no matter how hard I try each day I'm going to make a wrong turn at some point, yet He still loves me...and His love is the reason why I strive to do my best for Him daily, not for a reward of a miracle. When a miracle does come in my life it's not a pat on the back "I'm doing good and Daddy loves me best" moment, it's a "oh man, I'm so undeserving thank you so much moment."
