saved by grace

​s-Eph 2:4 -5,8-10

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

…

 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

O-oh how wonderful it is to be saved by grace. God through Jesus Christ has made it possible for all of us to be saved. And there is nothing that we could do to achieve the salvation for it is the free gift from God through Christ Jesus sacrifice. Without it we would be stuck mired in our sins .

A-Application for me is to recognize that despite my sins which weigh me down I am free and forgiven. If only I would confess with my mouth sins of my flesh God sees and knows my heart and forgives me of my sins. His amazing grace that makes it possible for me to move on. As I contemplate lessons in my marriage and my transgressions to my wife I confess than the Lord so that I might be reconciled first with God, and then  my wife.

P-dear heavenly father thank you for this word thank you for your grace. I pray for freedom for my past sins; sins of my marriage. I pray that you heal me and my marriage of the wounds I have caused Abby. I pray this all in Jesus Christ name, amen.
