Today’s Scripture…
Ephesians 2:4-6
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Thoughts…
I don’t want to burst your bubble, hurt your feelings, or insult you, but…you are not perfect. Something tells me I am not the first or last person to tell you that…LOL! Good news! No one is perfect and God loves us all anyways.
You have been forgiven God put a plan into place for you to be raised up with Christ. He has saved you by grace. It was nothing you did to deserve it, you can’t earn it. You just accept it and keep trying your best to live for Him.
Now is the real ouch. God has forgiven you when you didn’t deserve it. Who are you not forgiving right now? Forgiveness has nothing to do with someone making amends to you first. It is just loving your neighbor. It is about thanking God for forgiving you when you were dead in your transgressions. It has everything to do with giving grace and choosing to be raised in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus..
Prayer…
Lord forgiving others doesn’t come easy, but I will follow your lead and learn to give people grace. ~Amen
