Devotional
God’s grace is perhaps most beautiful because it’s undeserved. We often try to earn God’s favor through our actions, but grace by definition is a gift we cannot earn. This truth should both humble and liberate us. We don’t have to prove our worth to God – He has already demonstrated our value through Christ. This realization should fill us with gratitude and motivate us to live in response to His love rather than in an attempt to earn it.
Bible Verse
“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.” – 1 Corinthians 14:1
