This is key—Who makes me different from anyone else? Not what makes me different—Who! Jesus—it is Jesus! Without Him I am a fool. Even now when I ignore or neglect, I blow it. Any true wisdom or understanding comes through the Spirit living in me. Did I earn this? Not a bit. When I admitted my need for a Savior, Christ embraced me and gave me His Spirit as a free gift. His Spirit gives me strength for the day to day. So I have nothing to boast in but Jesus!! His sacrifice is my hope. Now I desire to live for Him, Lord, teach me how.
I Cor. 4:7 “For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?”
