Semester End

So I just received my grades for this past semester. I earned a 4.0 gpa! This is huge considering the sorry state I was in at the end of last semester. I believe that God was teaching me to rely on Him instead of myself, undergrad was much easier than grad school and I in my pride thought that I earned everything that I achieved in undergrad. But it is only because of the gifts that God has blessed me with that I can accomplish anything! I am honored that He has given me gifts that I might bring Him glory with them, whatever little I achieve He alone receives the glory. This past year was truly a lesson for my ever present fight with pride. I seem to always want the credit that I feel I deserve, when in all honesty, the only thing I deserve are the flames of hell. BUT GOD, being rich in mercy made me alive in Christ even while I was dead in my sin! It is this same grace that purchased my salvation that I want to take hold of on a daily basis! May I never stray far from the cross and so forget the wonderful grace and mercy of Christ my Savior and my God!
