a Mighty Word ~ sacrifice

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works... We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works..." Ephesians 2:8-10

It's a word we are all familiar with in one way or another... Sacrifice.

Today we remember and honor our Armed Service soldiers.  Those who sacrificed their life for the safety and freedom of our country.  My heart is full of humble thanks for their dedication to us.

And then there is our Jesus, paying the price for all our sins with His life so we can have eternal life.  An unmerited gift, yet freely given and extended to all.  May we remember and give thanks to Him today and every day too.

Father, i need to sacrifice selfish ways and wants. Help me live in a way to create the desire and hunger in others to know You and Your wondrous Love.  

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
