He Has Blessed Us In The Heavenly Realms
With Every Spiritual Blessing In Christ,

And we will rise again with Him just as we live in Him and
make our dwelling in the Lord. It is important to cling to
God just as the vine clings to a brick wall and always be
the best we can be. We may aspire to be the best and it
is God's will we do that. At the same time, if we fall short
of that goal, we need to realize we've done the best we can
do. So we should never beat ourselves up just because we
have not done great things. What we can do is aspire to do
good things. Throughout scripture we notice that God did
not choose the lofty nor the wisest nor the holiest. Instead
He went out and picked out the most humble and made them
holy and He brought them to the top. It seems to have been
that way in ever instance. To the point though, lets us never
give up and as Paul said; I have fought the good fight. And
as it says in Isaiah. We will run and not grow weary for our
God will be our strength. We will fly like the eagle, we will
rise again.

So often when I refer to my own salvation experience in Christ, Yeshua, I am reminded of the scripture that teaches us God even chooses that which is not to bring down that which is. Not that I am bringing anythig down, but in saving me, He ahs dealt with what was not, amen. Praise God.

I like your mention and loving reminder that we should not expect to do great things all of the time. We must also keep in mind when we actually do something of God's work, it is He working through us........we do nothing of ourselves for our Father. All glory to God. Oh, if you ned to underscore this thinking of being "great", look to see if you are I are mentioned a forehand by name! That ought to convince all that we are expected to do our best to do good, yet we are not expected ever to be great, only the One working through us is great, amen.
