Ephesians 1:8
“He has showered His kindness on us, Along with all wisdom and understanding.”
We have God’s grace! God has given us His grace, poured on us in generous amounts. What does it mean to have grace? The definition of God’s grace could be, ‘God’s life, power, and righteousness given to us by unmerited favor.” It is through this grace offered, that we are forgiven, transforming our thinking, resulting in the renewal of our mind and heart. Nothing we can do ourselves to earn this grace, it is only by God’s will to have a relationship with us that we have it. Grace is not only our salvation, but it is everything we need for life and godliness. We are only considered right with God by this grace. Grace also empowers us for service with gifts and abilities. These gifts and abilities should be used to glorify God. What is grace to you?
Dear God, thank you that you gave me your grace so that I may have a relationship with you. Help me to remember what you have given me and help me to utilize my gifts to glorify you and you alone. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
