Ephesians 2:19
"You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household."
What of Today’s Verse…
Those of us who have been Christians a long time sometimes forget that we have no claim or right to the grace we have received. When we feel we deserve it, that it is ours by right, it is no longer grace and we no longer have it. To be a part of God’s family is grace. Our lives are a gift from the Holy One who spoke into existence the universe (in which we are) and who knows how to share and love in ways we can’t even imagine.
Let us Pray:
For the incredible and boundless love you have given to me, O Almighty God, I can only fall to my knees and thank you. Your power is beyond my comprehension. Your awesome holiness is beyond my understanding. Yet your infinite grace is mine because of your love, which cost you so much. "Thank you. A million times over I say it, "Thank you!" Through Jesus my Lord.
Words of Wisdom
Make it happen…
Nothing gets done by accident. Great achievements do not fall out of the sky and land in one’s backyard. They take time, focus and commitment.
You must know where you’re going and precisely what you want to do. And then you must do it with persistence and commitment. If it’s going to happen for you, you must make it happen. Opportunity is everywhere, yet it is not something for which you sit and wait. Opportunity benefits those who act on it — it is useless to those who wait for it.
Look around you. All the successful businesses, all the loving relationships, all the scientific breakthroughs, all the beautiful works of art, engineering feats and other accomplishments you see, are the result of commitment. Someone made them happen through focused, disciplined action.
You can have anything if you’ll use your time and your commitment to make it happen.
