Day 13 "Grace Has Brought You Peace"
A Recipe For Peace
Good Morning Beauties!
Happy Thanksgiving to our American Beauties on this journey. It’s a beautiful day to celebrate our gratitude to Jesus for all He’s done, mostly though, for who He is.
The Bible describes grace (God’s unearned favor) perfectly in Ephesians 2:1-10. This amazing grace we’ve been given surely puts all our striving away and allows us to live a life of peace. No more trying to be perfect, to please others, to be good enough to earn our salvation - we can accept God’s grace by our faith in Jesus and be at peace with Him and ourselves. Hallelujah!!
“It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.
Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.” Ephesians 2:1-10 The Message Bible
I pray you have a special day with your family and friends, and that you’ll start your day with praising our most worthy King Jesus, for who He is and for the amazing grace that brings you peace.

“So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.”
