It is who you know!

A friend of mine sent me an e-mail that said "Hmm... I didn't know I knew a dignitary!" I sent back asking her what she meant. She told me she found a photo of me in a ribbon cutting ceremony that listed the names of two hospital presidents, a state senator and (quote) other dignitaries. I was included as a special person just because of who I was with.

I laughed when I heard that. Then I thought about the fact that we are given special status, in the same way, just because we know Jesus. I didn't do anything to earn my status as a "dignitary" just like we didn't do anything to merit God's favor other than to be with Jesus.

Thank God for that. It is the free gift of his grace.
