"Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say that I am not what I once was, a slave to sin and Satan. And I can heartily join with the apostle and acknowledge that by the grace of God I am what I am." - John Newton

A long time I read a book based on that verse "I am what I am by the grace of God". The book was called "A Turtle on a Fence Post" and the word picture was based upon the fact that the author had been walking through a fenced meadow and came upon a turtle alive on top of one of the fence posts.
She concluded that someone had place the turtle there, it didn't get there by its own efforts.
