Ephesians 2:4-5
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;).
What of Today’s Verse…
I cannot think of anything I’d prefer the Holy God to be rich in than mercy. I know my failures, shortcomings, sins, and transgressions. Without his mercy to pardon, and without his grace to send Jesus to pardon at first, I would be lost and without God. Now, because of his rich mercy, my life is tied to Jesus’ future and not the one I earned for myself.
Let us Pray:
Father of all grace and mercy, thank you. Thank you for being God like you are my God. Thank you for extending grace when I have not deserved it. Thank you for giving mercy when I most needed it. Thank you for giving life when I thought my life was doomed and hopeless. May my wealth be found in mercy and grace much more than money and gold. Help me be more like you. Through my older brother, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Be Open minded…
To fully experience the joy of life, we need to maintain an open mind. An open mind is curious and enjoys testing its limits. The open mind does not seek approval, but instead appreciates genuine feedback and constructive criticism from others. The open mind enjoys exercising its powers, and constantly wonders about the unknown. And the open mind is willing to take calculated risks.
An open mind never takes anything for granted, and is not burdened by limiting assumptions. In fact, an open mind recognizes limits as temporary and works to find ways around them.
