Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen – It’s Yours


Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen – It’s Yours

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God – Ephesians 2:8, NKJV.

TODAY’S WORD:
If I stopped by your house and brought you a beautifully wrapped gift and set it in your living room, that gift would be yours. It’s in your home; I gave it to you. There’s nothing you could do to make it “more” yours or “less” yours. Now, you could see that present and be so excited. You could call your friends and tell them about it. You could even write me a thank you note; however, you really can’t enjoy the gift until you open it. It wouldn’t do you any good until you put it to use. In other words, you have to receive that gift before it affects your life.
Friend, it’s the same way with spiritual gifts. God has a package of grace, favor, mercy, forgiveness, blessing, joy, peace and so much more available to you. But you have to receive it by faith in order for it to affect your life. You can’t earn it. You can’t pay for it. You simply have to receive it by faith.
Today, if you’ve never received the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, that’s the first gift to receive.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father God, I bless You today. Thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I receive, by faith, every gift You have for me. Open the eyes of my heart that I may see all the good things You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
