MERE MORTALS
Today's reading: Job 7-8

"What are mere mortals, that you should make so much of us?" Job 7:17 NLT

Lord,

I've been thinking about myself...

How undeserving I am of Your gifts.

Of Your love.

Of the life You have given me.

I'm recalling all the times I fail You, and yet You still are with me.

I let You down but still feel the enormity of Your love.

My weaknesses are evident.

I am incapable of ever even beginning to repay Your kindnesses and grace.

Your blessings, which are many, pour into my life in an unending flow--and I shake my head wondering why in the world You would do so much for me.

A mere mortal.

An imperfect human.

A spoiled brat.

A huge screw-up.

And yet You love me. You bless me. You give me grace. You shower me with mercy. You provide me Your Son. You guide me with Your Spirit. You fill my heart with Your presence. You are preparing an eternal home for me with You.

Me, a mere mortal.

Thank You.
