2Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue." 6And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord,do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. (Luke 7:2-7)
All of the people who went out for the centurion stated that the centurion was "worthy" to have Jesus do this for him. Jesus agrees to go to the centurion. The centurion sends out his friends and tells them to say that he is "not worthy" to even have Jesus in his house, in his presence. Then Jesus showcases His power. After the centurion confesses his status of unworthy.
The amount of power and healing that will take place in my life is directly related to how unworthy I see myself of being in the presence of God.
The more and more I experience this the more and more I experience His grace and love and mercy.
No matter how worthy others think you are, your view of God's grace, love, mercy, and magnitude is directly related to YOUR view of yourself.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your grace and love and mercy. I am eternally unworthy. You are eternally giving and loving. Thank you so much. I love you.
