Impact-ed

I read something today that really impacted me.

There can be no pride before God.

Indeed, when I think back about what I can actually offer, I realize there's simply nothing.
God accepts and loves us, not because of what we can offer, but because of who we simply are.
We are we.
What is there to show off before the Almighty God?

Nothing.

Therefore, to do all things unto God requires a strong heart of purity.
A heart that pursues purity and love.
Doing things not unto man, but to God.

And this is from sheryl's blog:

"We can be highly intellectual
but we're lousy in our attitude
We can appear to be obedient
but we're slow in submission
We can say that we are teachable
but we're resistant to correction
We can justify our actions
in the name of doing things for God
but we're building our own kingdom
We can say we love God and ppl
but we're deficient in loving with action"

Sheryl, thanks for the permission to "kope" it! :) I feel you really phrase everything amazingly well! It can't get any closer to the reality of how it really is in our walk with God. And I really admire your conviction in being a person with a great attitude no matter what the circumstances are. I'm truly inspired and impacted! :) Though I've only known you for a short time, thanks for making a difference in my life!..in all the little ways, through all the unseen things! You have been a great awesome testimony!
