GOD'S LOVE GIFT

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Ephesians 2:8, 9
King James Version

Ju­lia H. John­ston wrote one of my favorite hymns "GRACE GREATER THAN OUR SIN". Thank God for His grace. I love the words in this hymn.

"Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.

Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look! There is flowing a crimson tide, Brighter than snow you may be today.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive?"

You might wonder why I include hymns in my devotions. It is because we are instructed to do so in the Bible. We read in the Bible. "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." Psalms 100:2

Thank You, dear Jesus, for all You have done for me. I love You so much and one happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face and will be with You for all eternity.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me unconditionally, for adopting me into Your family and for allowing me the privilege to serve Your beloved Son. I love You and appreciate all You have done for me. Please comfort, encourage and protect my beloved Pastor and his family. Thank You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
