“Pastor Dan Baty’s Monday Morning Boost”

November 14, 2022 By Dan Baty 1 Comment

I do not deserve this. I do not deserve this life I have been given. I do not deserve this fascinating and fulfilling relationship with God. I do not deserve brothers and sisters with whom I can share, and laugh, and weep. I do not deserve this hope that cannot be extinguished by even the fiercest winds of circumstances. I do not deserve to have free and continuous access to this wellspring of joy. I am simply not worthy!

But grace turns everything around. I am not loved because I am worthy; I am worthy because I am loved.

Therefore, I strive towards greater Christlikeness not to earn God’s favor but because I am convinced I unalterably have it. I seek to know Him better not because I “ought” to, but because my heart insists upon it.

    Thank you Pastor.

    I do not deserve all of this good. Like you said,
    “But grace turns everything around.” The knowledge of His grace and mercy to an undeserving person like me, fills my heart with joy unspeakable and makes my eyes flood with tears. His love is so wonderful to me!

    “I seek to know Him better not because I “ought” to, but because my heart insists upon it.” That, dear Sir, says it all! The more of Him I experience; the more of him I want, need, seek after! …all of this and heaven, too!
