A Glory Seed Devotional
On the right side of wrong…
“Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah. Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish!” (Ephesians 2:4–8, The Message)
Once was a time I thought I was without God in my life. “…he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus.” I was wrong!
Once was a time when I felt I wasn’t loved. “…with an incredible love, he (God) embraced us.” I was wrong!
Once was a time when I felt God abandoned me because he didn’t answer my prayers. “…with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.” I was wrong!
Once was a time when thought for sure hell was drawing me to its opened door. “Saving is all his idea… He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ… All we do is trust him. It’s God’s gift from start to finish!” I was wrong!
I don’t know about you but there are times when I really like it when I am on the right side of wrong!
Believe it! Experience it!
Grace and PEACE!
Gary
