"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift - not from works, so that no one can boast"
-- Ephesians 2:8-9 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
God has given us so many gifts, but none can compare with the gift of eternal life. We have not earned our salvation; it is a blessing from God. When we accept Christ into our hearts, we are saved by grace.
God's grace is the ultimate gift, and we owe to Him the ultimate in thanksgiving. Let us praise the Creator for His priceless gift, and let us share the Good News with all who cross our paths. We return our Father's love by accepting His grace and by sharing His message and His love. When we do, we are eternally blessed and the Father smiles.

Lord, Accepting your grace can be hard. Somehow, we feel that we must earn Your love and Your acceptance. Yet, the Bible promises that You love us and save us by Your grace. It is a gift we can only accept and cannot earn. Thank You for Your priceless gift.
