Grace

I was anxious about my upcoming performance evaluation at work. After two months as assistant manager at the kitchen at Rolling Hills Elementary, I’ve come to realize that this is a tougher job than I expected. Worrying about my performance wears me out. When I brought this to the Lord, He showed me (in my mind’s eye) His face shining on me with His love and grace. He was not at all concerned about my performance. He was just happy that I’m His child. He reminded me of Romans 5:2 which says that Christians stand in grace. Another time I had a day in which I made stupid mistakes at work. The next day I was reading Psalm 63 and I came to verse eight which says, “Your right hand upholds me.” We are in God’s hand! And when we behave imperfectly and make mistakes, we are still in His hand.
