Unique and special to Jesus

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
- Galatians 3:28

It doesn’t matter whether you are male or female; every person is different. We all have different talents, weaknesses and strengths, experiences and ideas. But we are united in Jesus! Each of us is unique and special to God. He loves you and wants to help you become the man or woman He desires.

God has known you since you were in your mother’s womb. He formed you, and to Him you are wonderful.

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
- Psalm 139:13–14

God also created you with a special purpose and wants to guide you to fulfill it.

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
- Psalm 138:8

Stand firm in the Lord. Spend time with Him every day, seeking His presence and His guidance for the decisions you must make. God hears you; you are His special creation and precious to Him. Walk hand in hand with the Lord, and you will see how many beautiful things you can do in His name.

Yesterday's Word

Have you ever felt God’s grace in your life?

What does grace mean? When someone gives you a gift for free, it means you don’t have to pay, it’s free. You didn’t do anything to deserve it, but now it’s yours to enjoy. Grace is like that: it is an undeserved gift or favor.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.
- Ephesians 2:8-9

God gives us salvation by grace. We did nothing to deserve this salvation. On the contrary, we deserved His punishment. But God loves us and gave what He had most precious to save us: Jesus. He saved us at no cost to us. We only have to accept His gift.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved.
- Ephesians 2:4-5

Give thanks to God for the wonderful gift of salvation. If you haven’t yet accepted it, don’t wait any longer. Accept His gift today and begin living your life hand in hand with God, steadfast in Him. With God, our life makes sense, has eternal purpose, and endless hope. Don’t reject God’s gift!

Have you already felt God’s grace in your life? Live for Him and proclaim His love wherever you go!

Day Before Yesterday's Word

A better perspective

Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
- Psalm 73:1–3

In Psalm 73, we read about the anguish of the psalmist Asaph as he witnessed the prosperity of the wicked and arrogant. His distress was so great that he was on the verge of falling away from the faith (Psalm 73:2). Fixing our eyes on the injustices around us only brings bitterness, envy, and pain.

Everything changed when he considered where true wealth comes from: our hope in God! He remembered that God had never abandoned him. In fact, God upheld and counseled him through life’s difficulties (verses 23–24). He recognized that his eternal future was secure. The Lord Himself would receive him into glory for all eternity!

Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
- Psalm 73:23–24

This is the security of all God’s children. We may see injustices on this earth and even suffer, while others seem to live in pleasure. But we must keep our eyes fixed on the Lord and live with the perspective of eternity, which will be far better than we can imagine.

But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
- 2 Peter 3:13
