Grace and Joy and Peace...who wants to live without it?

Thinking about the grace of God today and the joy that comes from knowing Jesus.

Ephesians 2:4-7

But because of his great love for us,
God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in trangressions--
it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
in order that in the coming ages
he might show the incomparable riches
of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Oh and I love this....because Colossians 1:13-14 says...

For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom
of the Son he loves,
in whom
we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.

May the knowledge of his grace and love and peace bring you joy today.

For the Joy of the Lord is your strength...seek Him for that strength and rest in the grace that is ours through his beautiful life and sacrifice for us.
