Read Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Lord,
We thank You for the way that You have created us and for the grace that You so willingly gave us. On our own we are self-serving, often seeking to get the credit for the good things we have done. Remind us this week that You are the source of all that is good in us. May the imprint of Your love be stamped on everything we do so that others will see You when they see what You are doing through us. You have a grand plan for our lives – a perfect design that our human minds could scarcely comprehend! Soften our hearts and open our eyes to who You would have us be and how You would have us live. Amen.
