If I may interject here. I read both your's and ljw9292's note above and I think I have to agree with both of you. Let me explain. When it comes to our own valuation of our life and our actions, we all tend to feel like the woman in Matt 15:22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." 23But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." 24But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" 26But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." 27And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. But when we realize that we have Christ as our advocate with our Father, we read in Eph 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles-- 2if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 7of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. So it all boils down to a matter of attitude and complete submission of our will to His Will. We see this further contrasted in Romans 7:13-25. On one hand we feel like worthless "filthy rags" but thanks be to God, we don't have to keep on thinking that way. We can look up to Heaven, place our hand in our Father's and KNOW for a concrete fact He's got a Home waiting for us forever. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

This helped a lot. As a grandmother,alone, raising 6 grandchildren according to Joshua 24:15, I need all the truthful instruction I can get. Learning as much as I can to teach them how to serve the Lord, is important to all 7 of us. | ||||||
