From Sinner to Saint

wp:paragraph I start every morning with coffee and God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread Ministries, https://odb.org. Today’s devotion is titled “Of Saints and Sinners” The scripture is taken from Luke 22:54–62 with the key verse, “The third time [Jesus] said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” . . . [Peter] said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." John 21:17. Remi Oyedele wrote this devotion. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, all that I write, I pray first to God to guide my words, so that it may serve as spiritual food and guidance. I want God to be the sole source of my writing, so all the credit goes to Him, not to me. I am only his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as a base for comments. Before today, I never heard of Mary of Egypt. I researched her life and learned She was very promiscuous. I could relate to her because I was the same way. For a long time, I felt the same way she did. I thought that I would never be welcomed in any church. Like Peter and Mary, I felt that forgiveness and salvation were out of reach. I was wrong. Jesus forgave and restored me as He restored May and Peter. Now I am dedicated to living my life for Christ. What is your story?

Insight: In what ways have you experienced God’s transforming grace? How can you express His grace toward others?

May God bless you and may you experience God's transforming grace.
