Am I entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character? Do I know at long last that I cannot save myself?
I have come to believe that I cannot.
If I am unable, if my best intentions go wrong, if my desires are selfishly motivated and if my knowledge and will are limited, then I am ready to embrace God’s will for my life.
Just for today
I am grateful to be alive. I will do something today to celebrate.
