Today’s Scripture…
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Thoughts…
I am so much better at….than you! Nuh-uh! I can do anything you can do better! I can do anything you can do best! No you can’t! Yes I can! If you have ever had siblings, or children or even jut been a child, you have been a part of this conversation.
God put in place grace as a gift, so we cannot boast, “God loves me best!” We don’t earn God’s grace. There is no competition. We simply have faith that God is there and taking care of us. Faith is just faith. There is no you have more faith or less faith than anyone else. You either have faith or you do not, no in betweens.
That faith translates into our salvation.. We are saved from ourselves. We cannot be perfect. We can only experience progress towards it. That grace is our buffer along the way. So I am not better than you. I am making progress not perfection. Why don’t you come along the journey with me!
Prayer…
Lord, thank you for making us compete for your love and affection. Thank you for loving us all the same. ~amen
