"...God, being rich with mercy..., even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ." (Eph 2:4-5) What a gift!! What a God!! What could I accomplish without Him? Nothing, for despite my best efforts, I could not save myself from death. I'm quite sure the reason He went to all this trouble was not so I could eat chips and salsa in front of the television. Nope, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them" (v 10). Having been saved from myself by grace, I want to live for Him. I pray that today (tomorrow and every day after, too) we all move closer to Him and closer to finding and fulfilling the purpose He intended each of us to walk in...greg
