Word Filled Wednesday :: June 10

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. -Romans 3:22-24

I have read this scripture over and over this week.  As a reminder.  I have fallen short.  But so has every one else.  Sometimes I judge others sins as worse than my own.  Sometime I judge my sins as worse than others.  But in the end.  We ALL have fallen short.  But He freely extends His Grace.

All because of Jesus.

I used the shells as a reminder that we are empty.  Each of us.  Until He comes along and fills us.  With His love.  His Mercy.  His Grace.  

Sometimes I feel just like those shells.  All pretty on the outside and quite empty on the inside.  

And that is why this week I am so thankful for that Grace.

He fills me up.  In so many beautiful ways.

What a good Word! I kid you not, I just quoted this passage in the Bible study I'm working on...This week has been all about my feeling empty and unworthy of the call the Lord has placed before me. So, I absolutely love this!

You are on a roll this week, Christy! Very poignant.

I feel like a shell often. Empty. Worthless.

So glad He can fill me up and make me whole. I will think of this whenever I see a shell.

Thank you for this. XOXO
