DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 6; Jeremiah 13; Ephesians 5:22 to 6:9

When they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?  Luke 7:42

It is well that God’s forgiveness is not based on economics. So far as reaching God’s heaven is concerned, human calculations are futile. Grace cannot be calculated like a day’s wages. It is not a payment for so many hours worked or so many good deeds done. It is a gift from God. Have you received His grace or are you depending on your own deeds? —Drew Craig

Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.
                                —Julia. H. Johnston
