before me

4/28/11 My breath prayer today comes from Acts 2:25, which I think is an OT quote, "I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken." We United Methodists believe in the concept of prevenient grace, that is, the love of God that goes before us, the love that looks out for us even before we are aware of it. I have sensed that grace in my life, as I was baptized as an 8 week old infant, long before I had any awareness of anything. I have seen it in my calling to the ordained ministry and in my practice of ministry. God has changed many people's lives, sometimes through me, and lots of time, in spite of me. I am thankful today that God goes before me.

Love,
Lynn
