Ephesians 2:1-10 The Message (MSG)
God is a Father who desires to share his perfect love with all of his creation. It appears when we do not know how much God loves us we will expect humans to make us feel worthy and valuable. And, if humans don’t rise to the occasion the way we expect, then we generalize things and assume “no one” cares. It’s just not true. God cares and many people who have experienced God’s love also care.
The real issue is that we have sought to gain our worth and value out of human flesh that has its own war with sin. In time, people will let other people down. It may not be a deliberate thing; it’s simply a human thing. God, on the other hand, not only values us He has made a way to enjoy fellowship with us on a perfect performance level. He never disappoints. He takes our messed up thinking and living then guides us into a plan for us to prosper; a plan only we can fulfill. If people do not seek God, they will never know how special they are nor what amazing things they could do in the power of God’s grace.
