Life On the Way Devotion: 10 Good Reasons


by Hello Kelly

And it feels like I've got to give you

10 good reasons why

You still love me every time

10 good reasons

I deserve forgiveness every night

10 good reasons why

You still love me when I

I ain't got no reason why


How often do you recognize that you're not living up to God's expectations? Maybe you feel like you need to do enough good things throughout the day to even out the bad things you did yesterday. You feel this crazy need to act good enough so that you deserve your salvation.


But the truth is that there is nothing you can do to earn salvation. Nothing. You can't do enough good deeds, because even after the best effort you still won't be perfect. But don't despair! Salvation and grace are God's free gifts to you. FREE!! Even though you can never pay him back, he still accepts you because of Jesus' sacrifice. All you can do is keep running after God and his plan for you every day. That's all he asks of you.

Romans 11:6

And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved
