VERSE:
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, so
that no one can boast.
-- Ephesians 2:8-9

THOUGHT:
As a child, I loved to receive gifts. In such a simple time of
life, a gift meant I was loved. I didn't worry about the
significance or hidden message in a gift. I wasn't concerned about
the "strings attached" to the gift. It was just a gift -- a free
expression of love I didn't deserve, given to me by someone who
truly cared for me. Isn't it great to get to be God's child and
receive his gift and know we can receive it as a child?!
PRAYER:
Thank you, generous Father, for the gift of grace, the gift of
faith, the gift of salvation, and most of all, the gift of Jesus. I
know I can never repay these gifts, but I look forward to saying
"Thank you" through my lifestyle now and I look forward to
continuing to say "Thank you" through all eternity. In Jesus' name
I pray. Amen.

VELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, by Rob Bell
In this provocative, hopeful book, Bell asks what the church might look
like if today's believers fully embraced "the way" of love, peace,
sharing possessions, compassion, risk, forgiveness, and harmony.
