Jen Titus Chapter 3

This has been a crazy week with end of school year, Grant's bday party, baseball and church activities. I've barely have had time to breathe. My attiude has stunk today because I'm just plain worn out. I have to stay up until midnight to get time for myself this week.

S- v.4-5 But- When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

O- It's all about Mercy and Grace. It is so easy to get wrapped up on doing all the good things for Him, but He didn't save us for that reason. I was just as guilty as the next person.

A- Mercy is low on my list of gifts and it shows. But it shows more towards Christians than non. I can be very hard fellow Christians. I always think well they know better and shouldn't be doing that. As far as nonchristians, I think well, their behavior doesn't bother me as much because they don't know better. I'll pray for them and feel a little sorry. I need to remember that I still sin everyday and its only because of God's love, mercy and grace that I'm renewed everyday. I need to be more loving towards more Christian brother and sisters when they have fallen.

P- Lord, help me to more merciful. Help me to remember the days before I was saved. Help me to use those experiences to have mercy and grace to others around me.
