Not Worthy but Forever Greatful

This is written on the outside of my quiet time journal/prayer journal. I read this statement every time I go to open it and it still to this day takes my breath away. If it wasn't for Christ I would never have chosen Him I would still be lost in the flow of this world and be damned to hell. I think I take my salvation for granite sometimes...actually most of the time. I complain because school is hard or work is hard but my complaints and frustrations are microscopic in comparison to what Christ went through and what He goes through everyday. When I sin in hurts me so badly but I know it hurts my God even more. Today in my quiet time I was reading in Jeremiah 2 and verse 7 smacked me in the face ...hard . - I brought you into a bountiful country, to eat its fruits and its goodness. But when you entered, you defiled My land and made My heritage an abomination. So often I get the mindset that the bible is filled with examples that are meant to not be repeated like this verse. But we are repeating this exact example. We live in a country with Freedoms (religion, speech,etc.) and yet we hide our God because we are afraid of what man will think of us . I am guilty of this and i know it and it completely disgusts me.
