Ugly Me

As I sat down at a lunch table casting a glance at the nearby table at which some sisters and kids were sitting, I thought to myself, “Only four people sit around the table and then enjoy a five-course lunch meal, but my area (table) is filled to capacity (10 persons). It is not fair!” The moment the thinking of jealousy ran through my mind I found myself dirty, ugly and despicable. I laughed to myself contemptuously and confessed to the Lord immediately.

After meal, to my amazement, the people on the next table almost kept the dishes intact. And then I was asked to take leftovers home. While I was packing the food, I was excited of course but the feeling of God’s mercy took hold of me deeply.

God is merciful and abounding in love. He loves to satisfy my heart’s desires even I am sinful and wetched.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretched like me…
