Lenten Reflection - February 18, 2008

“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 that you have been saved.” - Ephesians 2:4-10

Reflection by Tyler Webb

I sometimes do not attribute value to things that are free, or given undeservedly. That may be why I struggle with God’s grace. Why would God forgive such a scoundrel as me, one who is dead in sin? God is always there for me, lifting me to new life through Jesus Christ . . . often many times in a single day. Why? Maybe the answer is my faith . . . that I love God with all my heart and all my soul, and I have faith that God is with me every day, at every moment, in all that I do. And for that I receive God’s gift of forgiveness, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
