Just at the Right Time

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to
die.




Romans 5:6








When I was still powerless...




When I start to think, why did I do that for a certain person, I can put myself in a position to think I should decide how to assist or help.



Kindness knows no boundaries.




Love has not limit.




Grace and mercy cannot be measured




Many times the receiving of God's love by others is not accepted like I want it to be accepted.





But I am still powerless...




Many times I expecting to receive something back in return for showing kindness or love.





But I am still powerless...




Many times I want to feel something from what I did for a person or a kind act I performed.




But I am still powerless...




Many times I have wanted the focus to be on me an not on God.




But I am still powerless...






Christ died for the ungodly. Christ died for me. I am powerless to save myself or make myself righteous. Without Jesus' sacrificial death and without God's grace I could not be saved. Jesus did for me what I could not do and paid off my debt to sin which I could not pay. He did it for me; not because I was good enough to be worthy of his death, but because I couldn't be worthy without him.




Loving God, thank you , I praise you for what you did for me while I was still powerless. Words cannot express my thanks for the gift of your grace that cost so much and yet means so much to me.




You saved me...





While I was still powerless...






All honor, glory, and praise to my Father who sits on the throne and my Lord Jesus who went to the cross and in whose name I offer my thanks. Thank you for ways you are still working in lives of people who I love who know your power and grace. What I do in life should be set by the example of what you continue to do for me while on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
