But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, — Ephesians 2:4

God is rich in kindness and gracious with grace! Isn’t that amazing for us? I don’t know about you, but I definitely know I have faults, inadequacies, sins, and offenses. Without God’s grace, I would be lost in my sins (Romans 3:23-25). Without his grace I would be cut off from the life God longs for me to have (Romans 5:6-11). God moved on our behalf with his abundant mercy and generous kindness when he sent Jesus to show us his love (1 John 4:9-10). Now, because of his great compassion and lavish charity, I have died to that old sinful self my existence is now attached to Jesus’ destiny and not the one I earned (Colossians 2:12, 3:1-4).

Prayer

Thank you, Father of all grace and kindness. Thank you for acting like God, which is what you are. Thank you for being kind to me even though I didn’t deserve it. Thank you for showing mercy to me when I needed it the most. Thank you for giving me life when I thought it was over and there was nothing I could do. May mercy and grace bring me much more wealth than money and gold. Help me be more like you. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
