Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
As a child, I loved to receive gifts. In such a simple time
of life, a gift meant I was loved. I didn't worry about the significance or
hidden message in a gift. I wasn't concerned about the "strings
attached" to the gift. It was just a gift — a free expression of love I
didn't deserve, given to me by someone who truly cared for me. Isn't it great
to get to be God's child and receive his gift and know we can receive it as a
child?!
Thought for today:
Am I gracious in my acknowledgment of the gifts that God provides?
