Does the error of your past hang over you like dark cloud? Like a guillotine hanging over your neck? We may have mucked up but God has not given up on us. In Part 1 we discovered that God will not forsake us despite our wrongdoing. Instead, God provides us the opportunity to find reprieve, in order that He may bring redemption and help us rebuild our lives – if we would look to Him. In Part 2, we explain more on how God works. God provides us the opportunity to find reprieve, in order that He may bring redemption and help us rebuild our lives – if we would look to Him. NOT FORSAKEN DESPITE LENGTH OF TIME Exodus 2:23 (NIV84)  During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. Two things to point out: Length of time does not mean God forgot. On one hand, we see Moses in a rash bid to take leadership over Israel and now a "long period of time" in which we see Moses doing something seemingly unrelated to his calling - shepherding sheep! Moses could be forgiven for thinking that he has been forgotten by God! To think he has lost his chance to help Israel! However, God is not a prisoner of time. God is not hasty. It is this fact that means we can trust Him. It is because God isn't rash, He doesn't quickly react, that we can really trust His character. Sometimes our time schedule is based on our agenda, not God's. Are you rushing into things that God isn't? When you are stressed about things that "aren't getting finished fast enough". Are you in God's timing or in your own? How about waiting on God in your quiet time? Do you actually wait for Him? With patience? Or are you fidgety and distracted because you don't value the wait? Imagine if we had a health condition develop. Do we go to see the medical specialist even though it may take a little while for the appointment? Or do we rush off and self-medicate with the quick advice of Dr. Google? How about waiting on God? Better for us to wait on God than to rush of and mess things up further! God will work according to His timing. God does not forget, even though it may seem like forever. God will work according to His timing. God does not forget, even though it may seem like forever Why it can take time Notice how during that the long period “the king of Egypt died” and “the Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God.” God was waiting for certain things to progress. The present Pharoah to die. The enslaved Israelites to really turn to God in desperation. Moses to gain the heart of a good shepherd, as he will really need that later. God's agenda is bigger than our tasks, it includes our character, and His greater plan for His Kingdom. It is funny how when we get a dream or a vision, we expect God to drop His agenda to match our timing! However, God is not impressed with our timing, our goals, our ambition. He is impressed with our submission to His will! God is not impressed with our timing, our goals, our ambition. He is impressed with our submission to His will! Clearly Moses had ambitions, that were on the surface godly, to save God's people. But these ambitions had to be tempered and submitted to God's character and purposes. Sometimes God will call us to great things, but He still can't use us if we are not submitted to him, or if our calling becomes selfish ambition. James 3:14-15 (NIV84)  14 But if you harbour bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. God is not focussed on building our kingdom, but His! Everything God does is in accordance with His perfect timing. Even the saving of our souls! Jesus came to die in perfect timing to God's will. Why did Jesus not come earlier, so more people could hear the gospel earlier? It is according to God's perfect plan. There are many things that God will patiently wait for. Even including the repentance of the nations. 2 Peter 3:8-9 (NIV84)  8 With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. What about you? Are you willing to wait for the same things that are important to God? What does your list of priorities tell you about how well you know God? Moses had to be trained through those years to discern the character of God, to develop a quieter, calmer heart, to learn gentleness, to learn patience. What gets you impatient? Are those the same things that God is "urgent" about? What things aren't happening fast enough for you? Is it because God is slow, or is He trying to do something in you first? What things aren't happening fast enough for you? Is it because God is slow, or is He trying to do something in you first? NOT FORSAKEN BECAUSE OF GOD’S COVENANT The Israelites could have been left in affliction and forgotten. But the people of Israel were not forgotten by God. Why? Because of… His covenant to His people Exodus 2:23–24 (NIV84)  23 …The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. Long before Moses' time, God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the forefathers of the Israelites. As part of this covenant, God promised that He would bring them out from Egypt and bring them back to the Promised Land. Gen 15:16 (NIV84)  In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” Our God is a covenant making God. A covenant is an agreement made between God and man. With these covenants, God makes clear to us what we can expect of Him and what He expects of us. He spells out the terms of His covenant to us so that we may understand the scope and boundaries of His covenant with us. When we are stuck in a tight corner, God's covenant become very important to us. Why? Because it assures us of God's faithfulness. Deut 7:9 (NIV84)  Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. When we are stuck in a tight corner, God's covenant become very important to us. Why? Because it assures us of God's faithfulness. God has established the New Covenant with us through the sacrifice of Jesus, as the sacrificial lamb, on the cross. When we accept Christ as our personal Saviour, we enter this New Covenant with God. As part of this covenant, God assures us that He will never forsake us. Heb 13:5 (NIV84)  … God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Amazingly, God has obligated Himself to us. Hence, rest assured. Even when we are in the tightest of corners, God will never forsake us. So let us make the decision to continue trusting God. Remember the story of Donna Rice? She was a committed Christian in high school and a high achiever academically and a cheerleader. But she began to compromise, dating non-Christians, began to make her decisions her own way. Dropped out of church. Then one day she was date raped. That was when she began more involved sexually and got involved in glitzy social circles. She tried becoming an actress and model and got involved romantically with a drug dealer. She tried to work hard in a pharmaceutical company but her workaholism was an attempt to run from her past. Then she met Senator Hart in a party in 1987. Then everything fell apart when their adulterous relationship was found out. She was distraught and in depression. Her mother' friend encouraged her to come back to God. Donna knew that she had created her own mess. She repented before God. God brought her into a church that began to nurse her back. God never gave up on her! His covenant of love Exodus 2:23–24 (NIV84) …  God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them. God's concern on the Israelites revealed His heart for them. This reveals to us that when God makes a covenant with us, it is not some sterile business deal. God was not counting business opportunities, leveraging of greater market share or even win-win solutions. It is a covenant birthed out of compassion and love. 2 Chr 6:14 (NIV84)  “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. Because God's love is behind His covenant, we are doubly sure that He will search us out and not forsake us. Rom 8:38-39 (NIV84)  38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Because God's love is behind His covenant, we are doubly sure that He will search us out and not forsake us. In Sydney Dec 15 2003, an out of control car smashed into a child care centre where 36 toddlers were sleeping. It burst into flames trapping 2 girls under it. One girl was Sophie Delezio who suffered horrific burns to 85% of her body. When her mother Carolyn arrived at the hospital the doctor told her that her daughter looked like she was in the Bali bombing. The doctors did not expect her to survive. Carolyn called everyone she could to pray. The little toddler surprised many by surviving. But she lost her right ear, her right leg, her left foot, her fingers of her right hand. Carolyn fought with her daughter every step of her recovery. Carolyn never gave up. Today Carolyn and her husband has set up a charity Day of Difference Foundation. That is the strength of a mother's love. Yet God's love is even greater. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Not our unloveliness, not our failures, not our situations. CONCLUSION Even though we may have mucked up bad in our lives, God does not forsake us. If we will look to Him, He will give us the opportunity to find reprieve, find redemption and rebuild. He will take the appropriate time to do what He needs to do with our lives, even though it does not match ours. For God knows the perfect timing. What we need to do is to trust Him. Trust His faithfulness, His covenant with us that He will not give up on us.       Are you feeling squashed in a tight corner? Look to God. For God does not forsake us. Copyright©️2026 by Wilson Lim.

What happens when we muck up in our life? When we did something clearly sinful, perhaps abhorrent even to God? Is there any hope left? Can we ever be restored again? This is such an important issue for many who have made mistakes and regret it for the rest of their lives. When we study the Scriptures, we discover an incredible example of one man who truly messed up his life. In Exodus 2:11-15, we find Moses who thought he could save his people from the ruthless Egyptian slave masters. But his way involved killing a slave master. Pharaoh found out and he had to run for his life. Imagine how it must feel. To be running away in fear and guilt. With a past that threatens to catch up and a doubtful future ahead. Life is hanging on a thread. What a tight corner! What a lonely and hopeless situation to be in. Perhaps we may be experiencing challenges in our life right now. Or we may have experienced it in the past. Or if we should face such challenges in the future, how can we respond? When we seem to be stuck in a tight corner, one thing that often trouble people's minds is: Has God forsaken me? Is there any hope for me? From this passage we will discover the certainty that God never forsakes! NOT FORSAKEN DESPITE WRONGDOING Moses had mucked up bad. He was now a fugitive. He became a stranger in a strange land, separated from home and family, from all that he was familiar with. Perhaps like Moses, we may have done something wrong. We may be running away from certain things of our past. Perhaps, like Moses we may find ourselves deep in a dark tunnel of despair when suddenly a light appears at its very end. In the very midst of a situation gone horribly wrong, when we feel like being squashed in the corner, when one may expect God to forsake us because of our sins, the opposite occurs. Instead, we discover that God perseveres with us, and He provides us opportunities to get out of the tight corner. We discover that God perseveres with us, and He provides us opportunities to get out of the tight corner. Opportunity for reprieve Exodus 2:15 (NIV84)   When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian... Though Moses had done wrong, God provided him an opportunity for reprieve to escape the clutches of Pharaoh, possibly the most powerful man on earth at that time. What made the difference was although Moses had mucked up, he continued to look to God for help. Heb 11:27 (NIV84)  By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. Though Moses had done wrong, God provided him an opportunity for reprieve to escape the clutches of Pharaoh, possibly the most powerful man on earth at that time. Have you ever done something silly? Mucked up because you did not understand, or were rash, or lost it for a little while? Only to realize what you had done and cried to God for help? Moses probably was in that situation. And God provided him a reprieve from Pharaoh's punishment. Indeed, God has promised that He will never leave or forsake us. Psa 9:10 (NIV84)  Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. We are never forgotten nor forsaken despite our wrongdoing. Even if you mucked up really bad! Isn't that comforting? As long as we do not forsake God Himself. Further, when God provides a reprieve, we should not always think that God has delivered us and that is the end of the story. Usually, God reprieves us to buy us time. Time for what? Opportunity for redemption Exodus 2:16–20 (NIV84)  16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. 18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?” 19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.” 20 “And where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.” God provided a reprieve for Moses so that God may now redeem Moses. For that is God's heart. God provided a reprieve for Moses so that God may now redeem Moses. For that is God's heart. To redeem the lost. Even though Moses was on the run, God did not forsake him. In the sequence of events, we can discern the hand of God. We may fall out of God's plans, but God seeks to help us fall right back in! We may fall out of God's plans, but God seeks to help us fall right back in! Moses was accepted by strangers. But it was not any stranger. Reuel may be a Midian, but a priest of the Most High. We have strong evidence of this because of several factors. Firstly, the name Reuel meant a "friend of El or God". Now Reuel is probably also known as Jethro, who later became Moses' father-in-law. Scholars have proposed different theories on the link between Reuel and Jethro. The different theories arose because in the Hebrew the word translated "father-in-law" just means a relative by marriage. And the word translated "father" can mean grandfather as well. Some suggested that Reuel was actually the grandfather Zipporah and Jethro was his son and hence Moses’ brother-in-law. Yet the simplest and most reasonable explanation is that Reuel and Jethro is the same person. Secondly, Ex 18:10-12 reveals Reuel/Jethro's attitude of thanksgiving towards God and familiarity in making sacrifices to God. Exodus 18:10–12 (NIV84)  10 He said, “Praise be to the Lord, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” 12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God. Reuel/Jethro is clearly a follower of God who was probably instrumental in influencing Moses later. He helped draw Moses closer to God and to understand God's ways. Moses may have thought he was finished as far as it relates to the purposes of God. But God was not finished with him. Moses ran away from Pharaoh and ran into God's provision for redemption. Moses who was arrogant and took matters into his own hands will now be humbled and taught to look to God. We may think we are washed out, but God wants to clean us up. We may think we are washed out, but God wants to clean us up. How does God redeem us despite us mucking up? Often when people muck up really bad, they are not in shape to go through God's normal route to mature us. Instead, He takes us on another route. A longer, slower journey to give time for restoration and rebuilding of our character foundations. It is like the difference between normal school and special school for children with some developmental challenges. Because it is like we are somewhat retarded spiritually or wounded and need a longer and slower education. In 1987, Donna Rice's name hit the tabloids in a highly publicized sexual scandal with former Colorado senator Gary Hart, a married man. Hart's bid for the 1988 Democratic nomination was trashed and so was Rice's reputation. Rice disappeared from the public eye, but she's back--passionately committed to God and to "Enough is Enough," a Christian organization fighting to keep pornography out of the hands of minors. Donna was a backslidden Christian who had wandered further and further from God. But God turned her around and redeemed her from the errors of her way. Rice is most thankful for God's work in her life: "God loves us, but he doesn't grant us immunity from the consequences of our choices. However, when we mess up, if we ask his forgiveness, he'll redeem those choices, using our mistakes as a 'door of hope' for other people (Hosea 2:14-15). I have great empathy for victims of sexual abuse and pornography. God has brought purpose to my pain."  -- from Today's Christian Woman. Christian Reader, Vol. 35, no. 2. Opportunity for rebuilding Moses thought that he had lost everything. But Moses was given an opportunity to make a fresh start. To begin rebuilding his life. God not only provided a way to redeem Moses, but also prepared for him a new life through his marriage to Zipporah and in becoming a father. Exodus 2:21–22 (NIV84)  21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become an alien in a foreign land.” God provided Moses opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. Because God does not forsake us. In all this, it is because God wants to bless us, to do us good. Jer 29:11 (NIV84)  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” We can experience reprieve, redemption and rebuilding if we choose to look to God in faith, like Moses. London businessman Lindsay Clegg was selling his warehouse property. The building had been empty for months and needed repairs. Vandals had damaged the doors, smashed the windows, and strewn trash all over the place. As he showed a prospective buyer the property, he took pains to say that he would replace the broken windows, bring in a crew to correct any structural damage, and clean out the garbage. The buyer said, "Forget about the repairs. When I buy this place, I'm going to build something completely different. I don't want the building; I want the site."  That's God's message to us! When we become God's the old life is over. He makes all things new. All He wants is the site and the permission to build. There are still some trying to "reform," but God offers "redemption." All we have to do is give Him the "property" and he will do the necessary "building." --James S. Hewett, Illustrations Unlimited (Wheaton: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, 1988) p. 51. We may have mucked up through some bad decisions we made. But God does not forsake us. God will give us the opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. God does not forsake us. God will give us the opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. There are more reasons why God does not forsake us. Find out in Part 2 . Copyright©️2026 by Wilson Lim. All rights reserved.

Have you ever considered where the richest place on earth is?  The answer will surprise you.   “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” ― Les Brown   How do we avoid wasted possibilities in our lives?  To enable the potential richness in our lives to blossom?  It requires us to use what God has given us to the fullest, as it was meant to.  Some of these answers may be found in 1 Corinthian 1:1-9.   Let’s start by understanding the context of Corinth.  Corinth is a large cosmopolitan city of perhaps 600,000.  Due to its location it was a bustling trade centre.  Due to its diversity, it became a cauldron for religious syncretism and immorality.  It developed a reputation for depravity.  There was even a Gk word korinthiazomai (Corinthianize), which meant "to practice fornication."     1 Corinthian was an epistle or a letter written by Paul to the believers in the church at Corinth.  It was written with the specific purpose to address various issues that had arisen there.  Because Paul wanted the church to operate God’s way, rather than in their worldly thinking influenced by the philosophies in that city.  As Paul greeted the church in Corinth, he sought to encourage the church.  He reminded them that knowing Christ has resulted in tremendous richness from God, in their lives.  In all manner of ways.   We will examine some of this richness of God in our lives, its implications and some practical applications today.   ENRICHED BY HIS GRACE   1 Corinthian 1:4-5 (NIV) “4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.  5 For in him you have been enriched in every way …”   Apostle Paul reminded his readers that God showed His grace, His favour to us through our relationship with Christ. A favour that is undeserved by us.  Because we are in Christ, a natural overflow is that we are:   Enriched in Knowledge (v5b) "…in all you knowledge…...”. Something tremendous is meant to occur in our lives as a result of our coming to know Christ and as we walk with Him. We are to be enriched in our knowledge.  In what way?   Firstly, we gain new perspectives due to Truth.  We begin to see things from the perspective of truth, the perspective of Scripture, the perspective of heaven.  Romans 12:2 (NIV) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.   It could be like in Matrix the movie or Inception where what is perceived is not always reality.  It takes a waking up of our sense to the true reality.   God’s Word and His Holy Spirit renews our minds to perceive what really is. The more we understand Scriptures, a whole new vista of truth begins to dawn upon us.    Secondly, the more we understand Scriptures, a whole new vista of truth begins to dawn upon us.  We discover spiritual truths and realities that we had not known before. The more we know God, the more we experience God, the greater our appreciation of the spiritual realities that lie behind the words of Scripture.    Thirdly, the more we know God, the more we experience God, the greater our appreciation of the spiritual realities that lie behind the words of Scripture.  We come to know, taste and feel what we had understood conceptually.  Have you ever tasted some exotic fruits that perhaps you have only heard of?  You could be given descriptions of its flavour, its texture, its aroma, etc.  But until you actually hold it and eat it – it lacks tangibility. It takes on a reality that you could not have fully formed until you held and ate it.       Our enrichment in knowledge is not limited to biblical truths.  With the new Kingdom perspective, the greater understanding of biblical truths and deeper experiences in the things of God, should also enrich all the other collection of knowledge and experiences we have.  All our knowledge begins to gain new implications, new depth and richness.  As a former scientist and one who enjoys science, my knowledge of science has been enriched as I align it with my biblical perspectives.    Enriched in Behaviour (v5a) "…in all your speaking…...”.   Speech is part of our overall behaviour. Just as our behaviour has been enriched through our relationship with Christ.  We should be more loving, compassionate, gracious, respectful in our behaviour including our speech.  Colossians 4:6 (NIV) Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.   If we truly, genuinely accept Jesus as our personal Saviour and begin to walk with Him - our behaviours will gradually begin to change to be more Christ-like. If we claim to know God but we do not demonstrate real change in our hearts and in our actions, then it has to be asked whether we had genuinely come to know God.  1 John 3:10 (NIV) This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.   In effect, we should be getting more gracious, more refined, more wholesome in our behaviours.  The more we are being changed by the grace of God.  When people observe us and how we behave.  They should be thinking, "Wow! I am so inspired with the way this person interacts with others.  I learn so much watching how this guy deals with conflicts.  I am amazed at this calmness and peace in the midst of great troubles."   Years ago in the church I attended in Melbourne, a retired couple would almost every Sunday invite overseas students over for lunch and took a genuine interest in their lives.  It touched the lives of many including ours.  In fact, we honoured him to have him drive my bride to our wedding.   How we behave, what we do, should be enriched by our relationship with God.  We should be more righteous in our actions, more trustworthy, more loving, etc.   Enriched in Spiritual Gifts (v7) "Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.”   Scriptures declares that every believer has at least one spiritual gift.  It is meant to enrich us personally and the Church.  1 Corinthians 12:4, 7 (NIV) 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit...  7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.    Every person has something important to contribute. You have something that will add to the greater good of the Body. For that is the intent of the spiritual gifts that God has given us.  1 Corinthians 12:8 - 10 (NIV) 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,  10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. Every necessary spiritual gift that is sufficient for the church already resides amongst the congregation.   I believe that every believer should access at least one of the above gifts.  Will you exercise faith to grab hold of what God has already provided for you?  Hence use it to build God’s church, God’s way.  To serve God. To serve others.  Did you know that every necessary spiritual gift that is sufficient for the church already resides amongst the congregation.  It may be in seed form, but it is there.  Because the Holy Spirit gives what is adequate for building His church   KEPT BY GOD   1 Corinthians 1:v8-9 (NIV) “8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.” God has provided for us everything we need to overcome and finish the race well.  Nevertheless, we have to choose to continue in His grace.    God will help us be faithful to the end by His grace.  Through the means of grace, God has provided for us everything we need to overcome and finish the race well.  Nevertheless, we have to choose to continue in His grace.  We could reject or neglect His grace.  The choice is ours.  Acts 13:43 (NIV) When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. One key principle that helps us finish the race well is when we apply the richness of His grace in our lives.   Let us choose to finish the race well.  One key principle that helps us finish the race well is when we apply the richness of His grace in our lives.  It is as we use it for His Church that it helps us to grow and mature, and strengthen our faith in God.  As a young Christian, I started to serve in Audio-visual ministry where it helped me to learn excellence in serving God.  I learnt to be spiritually more aware of the spiritual atmosphere.  Where the anointing was resting.  To be very diligent, not to miss any part of the service.  It helped me to grow in some aspects of my personal life and understanding something more about serving God.   CONCLUSION   God enriches our lives in every way by His grace.  But we have to chose to come to Him, to lean upon Him, to learn to tap into His grace.  The more we do so.  The more we serve Him.  We will discover His enriching grace.
