“Grace and peace to you from God and Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:2

As Gods precious children we have been chosen since before the world began by God to receive every personal blessing. Everything we will need to finish strong. That encompasses so many things because God is gracious. Elegance and beauty, effortless, pleasing and attractive, favor and goodwill, especially favors by our superior. Clemency and pardon, temporary immunity, freely given and unmerited favor of God, influence by the Holy Spirit to give strength, the virtue of excellence, one of the elect. Moral strength, royalty. Wow that is a lot of blessings. Those are all things that should be said about Gods children. I’m sure the world would love those things to be said about them but they don’t necessarily have Gods grace in their lives. But even though God is willing to do so much there is one thing he can’t do for us. That is to believe. Without believing it is impossible to please God and receive his blessings. The biggest blessing is when Jesus paid off our incredible debt with his blood so God could forgive us. He didn’t have to but he gladly did. For every single person God has called he would have died just for them alone. But there are millions. So many brothers and sisters that we may never get to know them all. No matter how far gone you think you are, if you were called by God he will keep working on you till you get it right. He has never lost one of his beloved. There is nothing we can do to be forgiven or nothing we do will keep us from being saved because God will get it done in his time. We have been washed in Christ’s blood. Whatever it takes he will do because he loves us so much. Some people he has to smack up the side of their head and say wake up, what are you doing? Because we are pretty stubborn at times. We also seem to think we have so much time to waste. But one minute we’re a kid and the next someone is calling us grandma. Life goes by fast.
