For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Romans 1

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. v20

I have often thought to myself that there is no excuse to follow and obey God for all things...none.  Here is scriptural backing for my claim. 

As the same time, that we have any faith whatsoever is a miracle. 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are so full of love, patience, joy, etc. (fruits of Spirit)...and You make these fruits available to me through faith...as a gift.  How amazing You are - thank You for choosing me Jesus!  What an amazing gift.  I am not deserving of such love and blessing Jesus.  I am impatient, quick to anger, slow to listen, selfish, harsh with my thoughts, words, and actions, etc.  Please forgive me Jesus from such sin and help me turn from these sins and towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
