Unworthy
Jacob knew he was not worthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which God had shown to him (Genesis 32:10).
Job knew he was not worthy to reply to God before His presence (Job 40:4).
John the baptist knew he was not worthy to stoop down and untie the straps of the sandals of Jesus (Mark 1:7).
The centurion knew he was not worthy to have Jesus come under the roof of his house or even come to Jesus to ask for help (Luke 7:7).
Do you ever feel unworthy?
i feel unworthy A LOT. i feel unworthy to be called a bond servant of the Most High King. How could He choose me? What did He see in me that looked promising at all? i am not worthy of His grace, His mercy, and His daily forgiveness. How is He so infinite in patience? Why does He take pride in calling me His child? Like really? Like really...He does! And it is absolutely NOTHING that i have done. He didn't choose to bring me out of darkness b/c i looked "promising" NO! He brought me out of darkness b/c i was willing to lay down at His feet and give my life to Him. He loves me and looks on me b/c i'm pure in His eyes b/c of what Jesus Christ did on the cross for my sin. On my own, yes, i'm unworthy. But in Christ - I AM WORTHY.

We will make mistakes often, slip up, ask for forgiveness a dozen times - however, by God's grace we can walk with confidence knowing that He redeemed us from the pit. "Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Ps 103:2-5 "The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love." Ps 103:8
CAUTION! - do make light of the cross in that you continue in sin, but make TODAY the day you will STOP. "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" Romans 6:1-2 Take active charge of your flesh, but DO recognize that we are not a perfect people.
