It is by grace you have been saved.
—Ephesians 2:5
When trouble pays a visit, the pity-party theme song is “Why me?”
Adversity is understandably unwelcome. But we should balance our benefits with our hardships. You and I have incomparable blessings in our inventory that many lack.
Have you ever wondered why you have been singled out for such breathtaking blessings as the following?
I am among those chosen before the creation of the world (Eph 1:4, 11). Why me?
I have a God-gifted faith (Eph 2:8). Why me?
I have been declared righteous (Rom 3:22). Why me?
I have been justified by God’s grace (Rom 3:24). Why me?
I have been adopted into God’s family (Jn 1:12). Why me?
I have the ultimate gift of eternal life (Jn 3:16; 11:25; 1 Jn 5:13). Why me?
Why me? Why me?
