Ephesians 1: 6 “To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”
Dear God,
Your creative works outside my door bursts with new life and beauty, which fills me with happiness and gratitude. I also rejoice in the new life I have each day with You, in the affecting of what Jesus Christ has done for me. Day by day I am blessed from heaven, because of the love of You God the Father and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1: 3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”
It is wonderful to think upon the love You have for every person who would populate earth, which led to a plan for Christ, to save every one, if sin came onto earth. Ephesians 1: 4 (Clear Word Translation), “It was of love that God planned for us to be with Him and be is children through Christ who was willing to be our Saviour.”
In the face of such love, my heart is gladdened and cannot resist Your invitation to be Your child. It is wonderful to be loved absolutely by the God of Heaven and by Your Spirit. Because of Your provision I will know I can have all pride and arrogance taken away by Jesus; for sadly even though there is no reason to have any, they rise too often within me. I humbly confess these issues and rejoice to be forgiven, and give You praise, as in my opening text of Ephesians 1:6. It is through Christ, V7 and 8 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Paul reminds us, that Jesus has lavished us not only with ‘the riches His grace’, but with wisdom and understanding also.
Again I express praise to You, O God of heaven, for the care of each person during their life time and Your longing to reinstate each to Your glorious self, in sinlessness.
Amen
