His Inexpressible Gift

2 Cor.9:15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
Definition of inexpressible: incapable of being uttered or described in words.

Do you ever really think about it? The selfless thing God did! He sent his only Son to die a shameful death that he did not deserve. All because we, the sinners of the world, could not be reconciled to Him any other way!! That is a very deep thought to have, and the fact that Jesus was obedient to His Father, even unto death is amazing to me and oh so very humbling.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Eph.2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,  not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Father God does not need us, but we desperately need Him! When you read His glorious word and began to know Him, you will see the magnitude of His grace towards us. We deserve punishment but He gives us Jesus. I can not grasp this our God, our creator, but am ever mindful of His new mercies everyday.
1Peter1:3-9 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him.Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Father, you know all hearts. You alone open hearts, minds and eyes or keep them closed. For Your glory, write Your words on their hearts, open the eyes of the ones who are perishing and refresh their minds with Your inexpressible gift. Amen
