This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:23-24).
Nothing is of on my own accord. Jesus completely relied on the Father (John 15:), and I'm beginning to realize that there is nothing good in me except Christ that lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).
After seeing Joshua receiving the gift of salvation last night, I have been rejoicing in salvation! His salvation, my friends salvations, and my own salvation. It is nothing but marvelous in my eyes.
Joshua's story is incredible. It's by grace we are all saved, it is NOT of our own doing whatsoever and Joshua is a testimony to that (Ephesians 2:8).
I've been thinking about my baptism last night and tonight, and I'm just sitting here crying just trying to comprehend what the Lord has done in my life and his glory that I've seen. I'm praying that my uncle will be able to attend my baptism or baptize me. He raised me and nurtured in me in Christ's love. It wasn't his doing, he had no reason to love me, I'm not even blood. Just as the Lord has no reason to love us because we have sinned against him (Romans 3:23), we are justified by his grace as a GIFT, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).
