Useful to You

Ephesians 1 & 2

I praise you and honor you, Father, for the exceeding greatness of your power towards me, and for my redemption and sanctification. The same mighty power that works in me now worked in Christ Jesus when you raised him from the dead and seated him at your right hand in the heavenlies.

Now, by that same power and purpose, Christ Jesus is seated far above all principality and power and might and domains and every name that is named, and I am securely placed in Christ.

So, I, who was dead in trespasses and sins, am now made alive in Christ. The life in me now is your divine, eternal life, Father. Thank you for your rich mercy and amazing grace, whereby you called me, granted me repentance and faith, and saved me through that faith.

Now you have raised me up together with Christ. By your grace, through faith, I am saved. That is not by my works, so I have no reason to boast in myself, but now, hallelujah, I am yours, Father.

I am your workmanship. You created me in Christ for good works that you ordained beforehand I would walk in. I am useful to you in your hands.
