Ephesians 1:6 - "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."

Do you ever find yourself caught in the trap of performance-based acceptance, feeling that your deeds determine your worth? It's a common misconception, and it's easy to let perceived expectations overshadow the grace in our lives.

Perhaps you've experienced moments when you stumble in your Christian journey, feeling like a failure. You might even fear that God has given up on you because of your shortcomings. But here's the profound truth: Jesus loves you unconditionally.

He's not comparing you to anyone else; He's not measuring your worth by your actions. In salvation, He exchanged your sinfulness for His righteousness. You are complete in Him. You are His delight, His redeemed. No matter what you do, you can't be more accepted in His eyes. So, rest in His boundless love and grace today.
