It is easy when you are journeying through the wilderness or a dark season to lose sight of the underlining truth that never fails or changes from the Lord. Love. Steadfast love. Love that endures forever! Sit in that love this week. Connect with someone who might have forgotten what that unconditional love feels like. Or maybe they have never experienced it. Let them experience Christ’s love through you.
We were dead in sin, in bondage from this world, but by God’s great love, mercy and grace, we are saved. Not because of our actions. Not because we said the right thing or did something nice for someone but because it is God’s gift to us. Because you are enough.
Let all the redeemed prophesy and sing God you are holy. Let your anointing fall on your church. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” John 3:16-17.
Scripture to Meditate on:
Ephesians 2:1-10, ESV
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[a] and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[b] 4 But[c] God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
