Knowing you are not worthy of the special love of God for you makes you all the more grateful when the truth of God’s love breaks through to you. We are never prepared for the powerful surprise that comes to us when God’s grace becomes real. Today would be a good day to share your story of how our Lord overcame your unworthiness with grace upon grace. Dana Carvey and Wayne Campbell do a short drama of how unworthy they are when a rock singer invites them to stay around (movie “Wayne’s World”). Over and over again they announce, “we’re not worthy.” That’s not your experience I know, but it is a funny example of how receiving favor does overwhelm us as it did Jacob in today’s texts.
Jacob said, "I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant."
Genesis 32:10
But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience as an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.
1 Timothy 1:16
Finally, Lord, I can stop my strivings to improve myself. Thankfully, by your power, I can simply be. Be merciful. Be a servant. Be a reflection of your faithfulness. Be a witness even in weakness. Be what you've created me to be. And now and forevermore be thine always in your name. Amen
