Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 8

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:3-5

Contrasts
The battery of my wristwatch needed changing, and I had to wait behind another customer to whom the jeweller was giving particular attention - understandably, because he was buying a diamond for a special present.
I was able to watch the show the salesman put on. First of all, he spread out a black cloth on the counter, then he carefully laid three or four diamonds on it with a pair of tweezers. What a contrast there was between the dark velvet of the cloth and the brilliance of the diamonds!
The grace of God also shines forth against the gloomy background of our guilt. When the Bible speaks of our moral condition in the verses above, it adds the word "but" to indicate the sheer brilliance of God's grace which has come down to us who were God's enemies and in His undeserved love offers us reconciliation and forgiveness.
His grace is amazing, as we learn by accepting it! We were guilty before God, but it justifies us. We were dead in sins without any relationship with God but it affords us life.
God's activity does not end there. During our entire life, He takes care of us for one particular purpose: that we should get to know His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, so much better.

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out.
