Gracious Lord,

Marvelous Father ..

How in awe I need to be

of Your gifts to me.

The greatest?

Salvation.

Your choosing me to be Yours

long before I could ever say 'yes' to Your call.

How do I understand that?

How do I explain what You have done?

Words fail me.

All I can say is

"He loves me because He loves me"

and I am His

not because of anything I have done,

but solely because He chose me.

Thank You Father.

Thank You for loving me,

for making me Your own.

You truly looked beyond my faults

and saw my need.

You alone have the ability to do that.

You alone have the power to change me.

Thank You.
