What a Gift!

(by Phil Ware)

HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE

Ephesians 2:8-9
It is by grace you have been saved, 
through faith - and this not from yourselves,it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.



THOUGHTS ON TODAY'S VERSE


Don't you love gifts! 
When they're truly given, with no strings attached,  all we have to do is receive them.  The greatest gift we've ever received
has nothing to do with our efforts. It is a gift from God. We didn't earn it, deserve it, or purchase it. God gave it through his sacrificial gift so our salvation would not be our boast, but His kindness. 


PRAYER
Holy God, I can never thank you enough 
for sending Jesus and paying the debt for my sin. May I never presume on your grace or take the cost of your gift lightly. At the same time, Father, I want to live confidently, knowing that my salvation is not dependent on my mistakes but upon your grace. Because of such a lavish gift, I pledge to live for you today in a way that reflects the joy I have at receiving such an awesome gift.

Through Jesus, my Grace, I pray. Amen.
