I am a man, clinging to Christ Jesus and Him crucified, and I'm in need of daily reminder to bury myself and my own desires, for there is no good in me (Romans 3:10-18). No matter how hard that I try (by my own power), without the grace of the Father, and without His help, I cannot truly seek after Him. Furthermore, I must say that there has never been a sweeter sound come upon ears, then that of the gospel of Jesus Christ. By the effectual calling of God the Father, through the atoning work of the cross of Christ Jesus, and through the gracious act of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, I am no longer considered an enemy, but a son of a sovereign and holy God. So with the help of the Father, and by His grace, my aim is to bring glory upon His name alone, for I am but a vessel willing to go to the ends of the earth to see the true gospel preached. In closing, I do not want others to look upon me, and see just me, a broken man, but that of an image of Christ Jesus. We are made in His image and in His likeness (Genesis 1:26-27), and it is my prayer to be a reflection of Him alone. Grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
