Romans 3:23-24 ESV 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 💡 Takeaway Romans 3 humbles us: no one is righteous on their own. We can’t boast in our works, status, or heritage. The ground is level at the cross—grace is God’s gift, not our achievement. This frees us from comparison and pride, and anchors us in gratitude. 🔥 Challenge for Today Pause and name one area where you’ve been striving in your own strength. Surrender it to God today and rest in His grace. Let your confidence come not from perfection, but from His redemption.

Two people come to mind who shaped me in ways they’ll never fully realize: Mr. David (my old boss at yogurtland): One day he asked me to hand out samples during a festival. I said I didn’t have the tools. Without missing a beat, he flipped a container lid into a makeshift tray and said, “Improvise.” That one word stuck. Ever since, when an obstacle blocks me, I remember that moment: find a way, figure it out, get it done. Lee (a later employer at My Yogurt): Lee taught me two lessons. First: “It only takes 2 seconds.” Fix the small things right away before they become big problems. I once avoided a document for two years, fearing the cost. When I finally showed up, it was resolved in minutes and cost me almost nothing. Second: “Just show up.” When I became a young father, I was anxious and unsure. But showing up—day after day—helped me build the strong, above-average family I have today. These men left a mark on me: improvise when stuck, act in the moment, and always show up. This week, my way to honor them: I can’t reach them anymore, but I can pass the torch. I’ll take time to mentor a new 18-year-old employee at my job—the same age I was when I learned these lessons. If I can plant seeds in him the way David and Lee did in me, their impact continues forward. https://www.skool.com/daily-wisdom-2553/classroom/a709c570?md=menu
