Good morning everyone,

1 Corinthians 3:9 -For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

If we have taken the time to look back and realize how far we have come by God’s grace, we would realize that whether we are good at what we do for a living, a good wife, mother, father, friend, sibling, etc., none of those qualities come "precut"! We had to grow into those good qualities.

This is why those of us who cannot recover from failures in life struggle to understand the depth of God’s grace. Because in truth we all were a "mess" before we came to Christ in some way. Even now we are still being "conformed into Christ image", so we don’t come "pre-cut" either! What blessed person would say, "It has taken a lot of mistakes to get to where I am today!" But Christians can, that is what is so amazing about grace!

As fellow workers with God, we have the opportunity to "sow good seeds" into the lives of people we love and come across. We also have the opportunity to see God increase those "seeds" of the gospel we have planted in their lives. But if we’re going to be "good co-workers" with God we must be patience with people’s growth like God is patient with our growth. Challenge yourself to be more gracious and merciful this week for Christ mercy in your life.

In His Love, Ld
