When I wrote my first such post, it was about my weight loss program, and I’m glad that others have followed my example in that regard. However, there is another element in my life that other people have followed that I find far more gratifying, though I can take no credit for it whatsoever. It is the work of God’s grace in my life, as he burns the dross from my heart and molds me to make me more like his Son, Jesus.
I am always a work in progress. I love the Lord, but in my weakness I fall short of the righteousness in which I am called to live, so it is only by the grace and mercy of God that I show his love in my life as I should. To his credit, he is faithful to keep me in his hands, and to teach me by the Holy Spirit how I should live my life day by day. As I do that, people see his work in me and ask me the reason for the hope in my life. I tell them, “Jesus.” Some of them don’t want to hear more, but others ask more questions.
If, by God’s grace, I live as I should, others may follow. To God be the glory.
