But God doesn’t require a job interview. He doesn’t hire and fire like most bosses because He’s more our Father than our boss. God doesn’t look at financial gain or loss. He’s not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging, sassy or brassy, not deaf to our cry, or blind to our need. As much as we try to earn them, God’s gifts are free. We could do wonderful things for wonderful people, and still not be wonderful.
Satan says, “You’re not worthy.”
Jesus says, “So what? I AM.”
