"You
are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and
members of God's household."
Ephesians
2:19
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Those
of us who have been Christians a long time sometimes forget that we have no
claim or right to the grace we have received. When we feel we deserve it, that
it is ours by right, it is no longer grace and we no longer have it. To be a
part of God's family is grace. Our lives are a gift from the Holy One who spoke
into existence the universe (in which we are) and who knows how to share and
love in ways we can't even imagine.
MY PRAYER
For
the incredible and boundless love you have given to me, O Almighty God, I can
only fall to my knees and thank you. Your power is beyond my comprehension.
Your awesome holiness is beyond my understanding. Yet your infinite grace is
mine because of your love, which cost you so much. "Thank you. A million
times over I say it, "Thank you!" Through Jesus my Lord. Amen.
NO REGRETS
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Am
I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to
please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a
servant of Christ.”
(Galatians
1:10, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD
I
read a report from a nurse who takes care of people who are close to death. She
asked hundreds of patients in the last twelve weeks of their life what their
biggest regret was. The number one regret reported was, “I wish I had been true
to who I was and not just lived to meet the expectations of others.”
How
many people today are not being true to who God created them to be simply
because they are afraid they’re going to disappoint somebody? They’re afraid
they may fall out of someone else’s good grace. They worry about not being
accepted into a certain group. I say this respectfully, but you cannot live
trying to be who your parents want you to be, or who your boss wants you to be,
or who your friends want you to be. You’ve got to stay true to who God has
called you to be.
Today,
make the decision to live life with no regrets. Surrender yourself
wholeheartedly to who God created you to be. Let Him mold and shape your character.
Let Him order your steps. As you submit your ways to Him, He will shine down on
you, and you will live the fulfilled, abundant life He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, thank You for loving me and accepting me just the way I am. It is my
heart’s desire to know You and to be known by You. Help me to live the life
You’ve called me to and be faithful to You always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
