So Much Thanks

Thank you for your great love. 

Thank you for the richness of your mercy. 

Thank you for making me alive with Christ even when I was dead in transgressions. 

Thank you that I am saved by grace. 

Thank you that you raised me up with Christ and seated me with him in the heavenly realms.

Thank you for your plans in the coming ages to show the incomparable riches of your grace, 

expressed in your kindness to me in Christ Jesus. 

Thank you for the saving faith that comes not from myself but is the gift of God— not by works, so that I can never boast. 

Thank you that I am your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which you prepared in advance for me to do.

Amen.
