Believe It!

by | Aug 21, 2013 | Quotes & Thoughts | 10 comments

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” (Ephesians 2:10 AMP).

Today may we BELIEVE IT…..

  • we are His handiwork
  • He has a work for each one of us
  • the path we are on has been prepared for us
  • the path is good!

I am linked with these blogs today….A Wise Woman and Winsome Wed. and Wordless Wed. and Create With Joy and Wisdom Wed. and A Little R & R and Doing You Well and Wordless Wed. and Wed. Prayer Girls .


In My Thoughts,
Joanne

    “Taking paths which He prepared ahead of time.” I never thought of it quite that way, but it makes sense. He destined us from the beginning to be and do certain things. How He loves us!

    Ah yes! Living the good life that He has already prearranged and made ready for us to live! Reminds me of John 10:10 part B(AMP). “I came that they may have and ENJOY life, and have it in abundance(to the full til it overflows). He surely does care about our well being and He has our very best interest at heart! Thanks so much for sharing Joanne and thanks for linking up! Have a blessed week 🙂
