S- “And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. Romans 3.22-24 (Message)
O- Righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ. So often we think that we have to earn our way into heaven. That our salvation is up to how we perform. This probably comes from our competitive world where everyone is striving to be better than the next person. All of us have sinned. Everyone is on equal ground with God. Money and status don’t matter. Labels and titles don’t matter. All that matters is our faith in Jesus Christ.
A- So often, I let my human pride and earthly success (as little as it is) get in the way of how I view people. I need to remember that I am the same as everyone else. Faith is the key, not earthly things.
P- King Jesus, thank you for allowing me to have faith in you. Thank you for stripping me of my human pride and making me whole through the blood of the cross. Amen

Neil you have a lot of successes, I am extremely proud of all of them. While I believe they are because of God, I want you to know that what you have achieved in life is not little by any means. You have had some tough obstacles and you (with God's help) have overcome them. And I love you and am very proud of all of them!:)
