Hey Guys! I just wanted to take a little time and share a little gift that God gave me today. I woke up this morning with my mind whirling around all the things I "have" to do and all the things I have been doing that I shouldn't be and all sorts of other stressful things and soon found relief in the Word of God. As I read my daily devotional I came across Ephesians 2:8-9.
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.
And as I contemplated this verse I felt a sense of peace come over me. It's all going to be okay. Focus your mind on Jesus and that's all you need. Now matter how much you do, or don't do, as long as you have faith in Jesus's grace you can get through the struggles of the world. Be they real or self-imposed.
This verse is really humbling for me because I do take pride in my accomplishments. It's a great reminder that when judgement day comes, all our worldly accomplishments won't mean anything. While this may seem discouraging for those trying to reach certain goals I choose to look at as peacemaking. To me, it means that even if I don't make all the goals I set for myself, I still will have worth. I am and will always be a daughter of the King of Kings. Just like all those others who have faith in He who gave his son to us. Thanks for reading this and may you have a peace-filled and blessed day.
FYI: To all those who as looking for a great devotional, I highly recommend this one. (Its the one I used called Jesus Calling)
