As I was reading for my devotions, I came across this passage from Ephesians 2:1-10. I have copied and pasted it and changed it to be personal to me. As I was reading these verses, I felt like God was reading them to me. He clearly needed me to read this. I wanted my pronouns in there so that I can remember that I was once a sinner and now by grace-amazing grace- am saved! Praise God!
"And I am dead in the trespasses and sins in which I once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom I once lived in the passions of my flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved me, even when I was dead in my trespasses, made me alive together with Christ— by grace I have been saved— and raised me up with him and seated me with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward me in Christ Jesus. For by grace I have been saved through faith. And this is not my own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For I am his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,which God prepared beforehand, that I should walk in them."
