Qualified

"It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is our righteousness, holiness and redemption." 1 Corinthians 1:30

So today I had to go into my new employer and show that I have a nursing qualification, that I am registered with the NMC and my criminal record check. This picture is of my nursing qualification. I worked hard to get my qualification and I am very happy to be a nurse, and I try to do the best job that I can.

However, as this Bible verse says, there is nothing that we can do that qualifies us to be a Christian, it is through Christ Jesus dying on the cross that we can know God and know His wisdom and holiness and righteousness. This got me thinking today, that no matter what I do, God will still love me. I want to do things that are pleasing to God, and just as I try my best to be the best nurse that I can be, I try my best to do things that please God. But I am human, and sometimes, like all nurses I say to someone I will get back to them and I forget because I get asked ten other questions in quick succession, I didn't do this on purpose, but I am only human. In the same way I will make mistakes and do things that are not pleasing to God, but I know that he will still love me and accept me as I am, thanks to Jesus dying on the cross for me. This applies to you as well...
