The True Gift
Recently I watched Seven Pounds. In it Will Smith plays a guilt-ridden man looking to make amends to those he deems worthy by planning to donate his vital organs, up to and including his heart. Today's random Daily Scripture (cf. John 15:13) brought back to me the gratefulness, rekindled after viewing Smith's quest, to my Lord who laid down His life not for the worthy but the unworthy. I am so thankful that Jesus didn't "interview" me to see if I was deserving of His sacrifice because I truly wasn't. He simply gave me His life for mine; all I needed to do was accept His gift through repentance...which is so very far from worthiness.

I have not seen that movie yet but I have seen the pursuit of happiness. that was equally uplifting and really makes you think about how you treat others everyday. some times we dn't see how much impact we have on people. it's sad how we jugde so easly. it's a very hard habbit to break.
