I love that GRACE talk in the Bible. I love the GRACE walk even more. I’m gonna need it after yesterday.

I’m justified by faith and not by my works. I’ve been grading myself daily as I’ve tried to meet daily demands with a good attitude. I established a list of my, shall we say, my weaknesses recently. These were tasks that I keep procrastinating on, work goals, emotional goals, spiritual goals and the like. I’ve been grading myself with letter grades A through F based on how much of my daily list I felt I successfully accomplished. I have had a good run of it until yesterday. Yesterday’s grade was an F. I failed to meet one single goal. I tried. I failed.

Normally I’d get up today and throw my hands in the air and say “I’m a failure. Why even try? I quit.”.

But rather today, I’m going to repent, accept a little grace, anchor back to Jesus and keep going.

I sure like giving myself some grace and I have today. Today is a new day and I will try again.

To know I’m not justified by my works but justified by faith in Jesus means yesterday’s F grade is hidden within Jesus’ A+ grade. This means I had an A+ day yesterday too!

Because of Jesus I can’t boast over my A+ Days because to God be the Glory. Therefore, I don’t have to cry and feel bad over my F days. Every day is His and is covered by His grace. You can’t have it both ways! Everyone falls short except Jesus. Everyday is an A+ day.

God gets the glory on my great days.
God gets the glory on my bad days.

So in Christ, I’m back in the saddle today.
