God\u2019s Grace \u00a0 Day 19
\nBut to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ\u2019s gift.\u00a0 <\/em>Ephesians 4:7 NKJV<\/p>\n

Message:<\/span>
\nBelievers, each of us has received some gift of grace that Christ has seemed best to bestow upon us.\u00a0 God knows our every need and He supplies all we need.
\nChrist gives us each a large measure of gifts as He sees fit to meet our needs.\u00a0 The best gift of all of course is the Holy Spirit, who is given to all who believe in and receive Christ as Savior.<\/p>\n

\u2026and we all have the same God and Father who is over us all and in us all, and living through every part of us. However, Christ has given each of us special abilities\u2014whatever he wants us to have out of his rich storehouse of gifts. The psalmist tells about this, for he says that when Christ returned triumphantly to heaven after his resurrection and victory over Satan, he gave generous gifts to men.\u00a0 <\/em>Ephesians 4:6-8 TLB<\/p>\n

Take sometime today to ponder on all the ways you have received grace and how your life has been richly blessed by it.\u00a0 Then give thanks and praise to God for His wonderful grace which He so richly bestows upon us to bring us to salvation and to give us spiritual gifts.<\/p>\n
