Father, Your grace exceeds our greatest sin and reaches our deepest need. When we read the first chapter of Ephesians we are taken back by just how privileged we are to be chosen in Christ before the creation of the world, to be predestined and adopted as Your child through Him. Some of the richest and most tender portions of Scripture that disclose the extent of Your love are revealed to us from deplorable and unjust situations.
What a wonderful reminder that Your work is not limited to ideal circumstances but You do an inner work within our heart no matter what difficulty we face. Because You lavish Your love on us we cannot contain the ubiquitous blessings we receive from You and must share them with those around us. Help us to do so freely and generously through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
