"We exist to do things that can't be done without God's special supernatural grace." John Piper.
"Apart from me, you can do nothing." The Lord Jesus
I want something I can't have without God: I want every person I meet to see and know that God is with me, just like with Joseph in the book of Genesis. But I can't make people see God in me. And I can't make God reveal Himself through me. All I can do is ask God to do it, and live in a way that let's God do it.
How is that?
Faith.
It is written, "The just shall live by faith." I became a Christian by faith, and I live the Christian life by faith. More specifically, by prayer. I prayed "the sinner's prayer," and I keep praying the saved person's prayer. Jesus, help me, because without you, I can't do anything eternally worth doing.
I know this to be true. I can't be a Christlike man, husband, or father without the Spirit of Jesus helping me every single moment. This is a solid fact. So everyday, all I can do, and all we who believe can do, is pray for God's power, and trust him to give it.
