Acts 15:  ¹¹ No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

It was a hard choice today. I also like Acts 16 when Paul and Silas are in prison singing hymns.  This is like "Best of Paul" for me.  So many times he is judgmental, especially towards women.  But here his faith is strong, and he moves me. 

I would like to think I could sing hymns even when being persecuted.  I want to believe that everyone I meet is equally deserving of God's grace like I am.  I can be petty.  I can be self-indulgent.  I need to pray for "faith to trust Him more."

Prayer:  Lord, help me to see Your children as you do, as worthy of Your grace and mercy.  Help me to strengthen my faith each day. 
Amen
