Like a tonn of bricks

Every once in a while God levels my world.

Ephesians 2:8-10

"God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."

Max Locado puts it this way.

"In the eyes of the King, you have value simply because you are."

We all try so hard to;

get it right
do it right
be right
be better
do it better
be great
be cool
be cutting edge
be seen
be heard
be watched
be needed
be important
be unique
be special
be invaluable
be different

We so easily forget that 'He first loved us' -1 John 4:19


In the eyes of the King, you have value simply because you are. You are God's masterpiece.
