Grace and Peace to You…


“2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose
Us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he[c]
Predestined us to be adopted as his sons, (and daughters), through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he
Has freely given us in the one he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's
Grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” Ephesians 1:2-8

What wonderful promises from our Lord! As I was reading from Ephesians this morning, these verses made me smile and joy filled my soul! Just knowing that God chose me…and you…to be His children, to share in His grace, peace and mercy! Wow, what a blessing and what a wonderful thought to start my day off with.

I thank you Lord, for choosing me to lavish your grace, peace and mercy on. For sending your Son to shed His blood so that I could receive your saving grace. I thank you for this most precious and costly gift of all gifts!

I love you my Father and your Son, my Savior!
I bow at your throne this morning with a thankful heart,
Lisa
