That's my only hope, to be accepted in the Beloved because I have no righteousness of my own. Only Him.<br /><br />Exodus 34:9 it reads, "And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance." If/When we make it all the way home, it will be because of the Lord, not because of anything we did, regardless of how good it seems. <br /><br /><br /><br />rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.com
