Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; — Ephesians 2:19

People who have been Christians for a long time sometimes forget that we don’t deserve the grace we’ve been given. When we think we deserve it or that it is ours by right, it is no longer grace, and we no longer live in it. Grace is what makes you a part of God’s family. For the Holy One who spoke into existence the universe (in which we are a submicroscopic speck), grace is simply and magnificently a gift from the One who knows how to share and love in ways we can’t even imagine.

Prayer

I can only fall to my knees and give you thanks, O Almighty God, for the amazing and unending love you have shown me. My understanding of your power is beyond words. I cannot comprehend your amazing holiness. But because of your love, which cost you so much, I have access to your infinite grace. I’m grateful. I’ll say it a million times: “Thank you!” In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
