A New Life

Scripture: But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) - Ephesians 2:4,5

Observation: Wow! These verses speak so much of our Great Lord. If we ever need a wake up call to start looking at the bigger picture, this is it. What one person or one thing on this earth can say that just by their grace alone, our sins are washed free and we are saved. It opens my eyes to the greatness of His power. It makes me so greatful and so humble to know that I have been saved by the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Out of the millions of galaxies and universes out there, He can actually see me, this little speck on this small planet in the midst of millions of billions of planets. That is just amazing and I'm so greatful.

Application: I have to be so greatful for this wonderful promise, and part of that is showing others what the Lord has done for me. Not by being boastful, or proud, but by living my life in a Godly way. I believe this is so others may see the wonderful glories that the Lord can do, and want that for themselves. All which will lead them to God's word and a holy life.

Prayer: Dear Father, I am just so greatful of the wonderful gift You have bestowed upon me. I ask that You help me to live the best way possible, so that I may encourage others to Your Love Lord. I am so thankful for all the things You've put in my life and I am greatful for everything You have in store for my future, whether good or bad, as I know whatever is in front of me will only serve to bring me closer to You. Amen
