I'm comin' home

[Ninurta]

...

I will share an incident that will seem supernatural, but it wasn't. Back in 2014 I was bed bound for three months. I was three months behind in my mortgage, and I knew I was going to lose my house. I was frightened, lost, and had given up hope. I totally relinquished everything. I prayed, and I told God that I did not care any more. That if he wanted me to stay in my house, he had to work a miracle, because there was no way I could manage without him stepping up to the plate.

The next month, I got a check from my job including, my pay and my comp pay, that put my mortgage up to date. Every month for the next four months, I received checks from places that I had forgotten about, and did not request.

I know that there are a lot of people that do not believe in God. And I have no explanation for why he came through for me, when I needed help the most. I was not deserving. I did not earn his grace. The only thing that I feel may have made a difference is that I have always, graciously and willing considered myself as a servant.

I receive great joy from giving and bringing joy, and fulfilling the needs of those in my family and community.

I think you may have it a little backwards. Grace cannot be earned - that would mean that you saved yourself through works, rather than Grace. Parents will understand that when your child comes to you in need, you don't evaluate it asking yourself "does this little bastard REALLY deserve any help?" No, you help, because they are your kids. They don't earn it, you give it because thy are in need.

Likewise, God does not help us because of what we have or haven't done. God does not help us because we help others, we help others because God gas helped us.
