By God’s Grace I Am

I labor for this, striving with His strength that works powerfully in me.

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to will and to act for His good purpose.

But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me. (Colossians 1:29, Philippians 2:12-13, 1 Corinthians 15:10, HCSB ©®)

The Spirit of the Living God empowers us to be strong, diligent, steadfast, obedient, and full of joy.

We don’t lose our selves in Him – we become our complete selves in Him.
