Hey girls.. You'll probably notice that this is a week late! Eep.
But still wanted to stick with my now-more-than-one-week-old commitment and hopefully encourage you girls to share even if it's late. :P
The words that really stuck out to me the most from this verse were the words "all", and "abound".
As a continuation from verses 6 and 7, it continues to strike me that what's needed for our good works is God's grace. And this grace abounds for us, and the natural course of action is then that we would abound in every good work.
All in all, I am floored by His grace towards me, that makes it possible for me to be an instrument - with all sufficiency, in all things, and all times.
It gives me no excuse: Not even when I'm tired and cranky. Not when others are being rude or unloveable.
And only because God makes it possible by His grace.
What would that look like for us to truly take this to heart - that He is able to actually enable us to abound in good work in our particular situations right now? At school? With our families?
May we be women who take this promise to heart so that Christ may shine through us!
