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. Grace is a simple and beautiful gift from the Holy One, who spoke the universe into existence (in which we are a tiny speck) and who knows how to share and love in ways we can’t even imagine.

Prayer

I can’t do anything but fall down on my knees and thank you, Almighty God, for all the love you have shown me. I can’t understand how powerful you are. Your great holiness is hard for me to understand. Still, I have all of your grace because your love cost you so much. Thank you. “Thank you!” is something I say a million times. In the name of my Lord Jesus. Amen.
