Ephesians 2:8-10

For grace have you been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

I read this while bible journaling and it is my habit to read the verse out loud several times. This time I focused in on the “it is the gift of God.” Every good thing and plan for my life that my heavenly Father has is for good. “For grace have you been saved through faith.” We are saved by the gift of God. The whole verse is about all that God gave us through Christ. How much my life is his plan and that I have a purpose for good works. I have a mission to do good works. How special does it make all our lives to know that each one of us is on purpose? All we have to do is accept the gift.
