“No sinner was ever saved by giving his heart to God.  We are not saved by our giving, we are saved by God’s giving.”
–A. W. Pink

It would seem silly of me to read those words this morning and have the concept be the first time I’ve heard it. But often times it is when we hear something, and how it is shared with us that touches us, that resonates with us. Sometimes, it is even who says it. But, getting back to Pink’s words, what he is saying reminds me this morning so much of “it’s not about me”. More importantly though, it reminds me God’s amazing grace.

And as I was just about to hit the SEND button, one more thing occurred to me. One more truth. I can come across situations, and people, and think to myself, “I don’t have time for this”. Maybe I don’t. But God does. And I am nothing if I do not allow myself to be an instrument of His giving.

From ‘If We Are The Body”
By Mercy Me

‘But if we are the body,
Why aren’t His arms reaching?
Why aren’t His hands feeling?
Why aren’t His words teaching?

And if we are the body,
Why are His fee going?
Why is His love not showing them
There is a way? There is a way?’
