8 I mean that you have been saved by grace through believing. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. 9 It was not the result of your own efforts, so you cannot brag about it. 10 God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing. Ephesians 2:8-10 (NCV)

The Gift of salvation is something that we sometimes take for granted , the depth of Christ love for us is truly amazing. It is easy to be disconnected from the word and gloss over key points that we really need to digest but I want to encourage you to take the time to really think about what it looked like for Christ to put His life on the line in order to save ours.
Wisdom is recognizing our dependence on God for everything in our lives; From our next meal to the our next breath, we cannot take credit for anything that we have. it's because of Lord that we have the privilege to walk out our purpose. Nothing just happens chance the Lord is always actively working in our lives and pouring out His grace to us each and everyday. I don't know about you but I need His grace each and every day.
10 God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing. -Eph 2:10
Because of the grace that God extended to us it is important for us to mirror that same grace towards other that haven't quite matured in their walk with Christ. I know that I have been guilty at one point or another of not being understanding of those who were struggling in areas that I wasn't. This is why it is important to surround yourself with other believer who you can draw wisdom from and who will also hold you accountable. We need one another , we all need a support system in our lives to keep us motivated.
God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives, how awesome is it to know that we are important enough to the Lord that He has placed a calling on our lives. There is assignment that only we can walk out because He has chosen us . You may not understand the purpose for every twist and turn on the road to your purpose but what you can be sure of is that God will complete the work that He began in you . Keep pushing forward , remain humble and continue to trust His timing.
Love,
