“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:7-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Pauls says, “according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us”. I love this vision of lavishing grace upon us. Just like a grandparent lavishes a child with love, Christ loves us and loves to forgive us. Angels praise when a lost soul repents and receives forgiveness. We jump for joy when a friend “sees the light”. How great is that day! Please pray that we and our friends express this desire of Christ to one of our unbelieving friends this week. Please pray for the CLC Prayer and fundraising breakfast with Bill Curry this Thursday. Thank you for your prayers as we are at capacity!
