better than i deserve.

we often get asked the question, 'how are you?' and we usually always answer the same way.

'oh i'm fine.'

'i'm ok.'

'ugh.'

sometimes we don't even respond.

i recently asked someone how they were doing (expecting to get a typical answer) and he said..

'better than i deserve.'

wow.

that's convicting. it got me thinking, it doesn't matter if i'm having a great day, or a horrible day. if i'm happy or sad. if i'm having the best day of my life, or a day that seems like it's from hell. no matter what, I'M BETTER THAN I DESERVE. we deserve death. yet christ has given us life. no matter what's going on in your life today, remember that you are better than you deserve.
