Day 3: You are beautiful, grace-filled and have a mighty identity!

Today's reading — Ephesians 2:1-10

This was a great little passage and reminder that we are ALL sinners saved by grace! From God's perspective we are by nature objects of wraths, as our Father cannot be in the presence of sin because he is holy and pure. But He loved us so much that He made a way, a bridge in the form of a cross with a lamb in the form of man and God — Jesus. 

It's a reminder that our good works don't earn points. there are no good deeds we can do to earn our way to heaven. It's not a contest. "No one can boast," Paul writes in verse 9. It's GRACE that saves us. 

So here's my question for you to reflect on today. Do you extend that same grace to others? Mighty Strong Girls, I think if we ALL had more grace with one another, the world would look like a different place! 

Of course my favorite verse in today's selection is verse 10, the very verse I pray over all of you! My goal, my hope, my prayer — you realizing that you are God's work, His art, His beautiful creation. And that he He has a plan for you. That's right, uniquely you has a destiny, an identity that began as a seed planted in your heart by God Himself.

Mighty Strong Girls can be summed up this simply. 1. You are a beautiful work of art, God's own workmanship and 2. Your identity, your very being, your destiny is not by chance. You are part of His plan.
