Teach us, Lord, that “every virtue we possess … every victory won … every thought of holiness are Yours alone.”

Teach us, Lord, that “every virtue we possess … every victory won … every thought of holiness are Yours alone.” Virtue, victory, holiness – Where do these things come from? They come from You, Lord. “In ourselves, there is no good thing” (Romans 7:18) – Our lives have been spoiled by our sin. We thank You, Lord, that You haven’t given up on us. You haven’t dismissed us as a lost cause. You keep on working in us, changing us, making us more like Jesus.
