Day 8 : Grace

God saved you by his grace when you believed.

And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.   

Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, 

so none of us can boast about it.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) 

SCRIPTURE: "And you can’t take credit for this [salvation]; it is a gift from God."

OBSERVATION: The fact that we are are saved is because of God's grace, not because we are good, or believe in God, or read our bibles, or do this journal. just because God wants to give us something we don't deserve....

...God wants to give us what we don't deserve... let that sink in. I should be rotting in hell....but I'm going to be at a huge block party in Heaven! Why? Because God feels like it; because He's God and He can do what He wants....because He loves me! It really is as simple as that!

APPLICATION: That's just it. There's no application for this. There's nothing I can do for this. In response I can be thankful, and try to Love God the same way He loves me. It wont change anything, though.

PRAYER: 

God,

All I can say is Thank You, and I love You.

There are no other words to express this.

Just thank You and I love You.

Amen.
