Unworthy

Thankfulness and Gratitude

It becomes harder to be grateful or thankful when you start believing you are worthy or that you deserve what you have. Because then it becomes yours.

I have been made more and more aware of the sin in my life, and although I have been forgiven, have have not forgotten that I have sinned and that I’ve been saved from that sin by someone else. As I recognize I’m a sinner, I am all the more thankful and grateful for the saving work of Jesus on my life and on the lives of those who I know and believe have been saved, because I know what they have been saved from,,, death and separation from God for all eternity.

Lyrics from Newsboys song.

When we don't get what we deserve. That's a real good thing, a real good thing. When we get what we don't deserve That's a real good thing, a real good thing.

Born to sin and then get caught All our good deeds, don't mean squat Sell the Volvo, shred the Visa Send the cash to Ma Theresa Great idea, the only catch is You don't get saved on merit badges.”

When we don’t get what we deserve, it’s a real good thing.

When we get what we don’t deserve, its a real good thing.

2 Samuel 7:16–20 KJV 1900

16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God? 20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
