No Traffic Ticket Grace

I thought that I was done with my hours of community service this week, but I found out I still have nearly 14 hours left. I was a little discouraged at first, because I want to do whatever I want with my time and not have these hours that I have left hanging over my head, an extra responsibility. The Lord reminded me that my time is not my own. The Lord is not done teaching me lessons and using me at the Senior Center. People have come to really like me there, and it is only because Christ lives in me. There is no good in me apart from Christ, and that is what they're hearing. I am so glad I do not have to work for my salvation. Christ paid the penalty and that is sufficient. I waws purchesed by His blood. As for my traffic ticket, I need to work to complete the penalty of the fine, the judge at court decided not to dismiss the fine. The Lord has a purpose in it. 14 hours, make them count, Lord! I can't believe how much God has changed my heart for the elderly and patience in serving them. The Holy Spirit is working mightily. Praise God for the Holy Spirit! Thank the Lord for His grace in helping me with these community service hours.
