8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 CSB)

I work hard. I am sure most of us do today. Yet, it seems to never be enough. We work and work and work and more just piles up. I hear this from everyone. Expectations are high and resources are low.

It is a never ending cycle.

Luckily, with our Father, our works are not what defines us. Yes, He wants us to do good works for the Kingdom. But they are not what saves us. No, that grace is freely given.

Thank you Lord that you do not make me work ever harder for your favor. You love me through your Son, Jesus Christ.
