God Has Been Good To Me
�Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denari, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?� Luke 7:41-42 NIV
Simon's answer to Jesus was the one who had the bigger debt canceled. That was exactly the answer Jesus was looking for.
I feel like the man who had the bigger debt canceled. My debt was great, and Jesus paid it all! Just the thought of His grace overwhelms me at times!
A friend of mine has a great testimony. It's really pretty horrible if you think about it. He was simply awful, a real troublemaker. (I am being facetious.) When he was growing up, the worst thing he ever remembers doing was one time in the eighth grade, he skipped the church choir practice.
Can you believe it? And God's going to let HIM into Heaven! Wow! There's still hope for me!
Seriously, I wish that was my tes timony. I wish I could hide the painful past sometimes. I wish I could do as God does, and forgive myself, then forget that it ever happened. I wish I could not use my past against me.
But folks, I think you need to know, some of my past just ain't pretty!
I have sinned, and continue to. Sometimes I get caught in the trap of Satan, and I find myself in a mess of trouble.
But, let me tell you when I consider how much God did for me, how far He had to come to rescue me, when I recognize how great His grace is in my life, then I can't help but assign Him all my love!
God has been so good to me, what else can I give Him but my all?
