>It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not 
>from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no 
>one can boast.
>--Ephesians 2:8-9
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>Don't you love gifts! When they're truly given, with no strings 
>attached, all we have to do is receive them. The greatest gift we've 
>ever received has nothing to do with our efforts. It is a gift from 
>God. We didn't earn it, deserve it, or purchase it. God gave it 
>through his sacrificial gift so our salvation would not be our 
>boast, but his kindness.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy God, I can never thank you enough for sending Jesus and paying 
>the debt for my sin. May I never presume on your grace or take the 
>cost of your gift lightly. At the same time, Father, I want to live 
>confidently, knowing that my salvation is not dependent on my 
>mistakes but upon your grace. Because of such a lavish gift, I 
>pledge to live for you today in a way that reflects the joy I have 
>at receiving such an awesome gift. Through Jesus, my Grace, I pray. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
