Missing Out
Posted in grace, Mike's Posts, Poetry 0 comments
I have been working my way slowly through the book of Ephesians. To say the least it has been really good.
The signature verses of the book come in chapter 2: " For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
These are beautiful words, and really a beautiful description of the gospel and grace.
But I want to dwell on the next verse for a minute. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
We are his workmanship, his handiwork, I love this! You are His poema, His poem... God is writing this poem and it is you - You are his poem!
We are created for good works. The cool part is that God prepared them in advance. The challenge for me is to not miss one of those opportunities to be part of God's poem in someone else's life.
Be encouraged today! Hold your head high because He chose you and has a plan for you!
