Doing good things

Ephesians 2:8-10
God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Always remember the joy of your salvation, but don't stop there.
Your joy is made complete in Me.
Walk with Me. Daily.
I have had plans for you since before you were in your mother's womb.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
You are My Masterpiece.
When you received your salvation as a gift from Me, I made you new.
I gave you secondbirth, spiritual birth, so that the old could be redeemed and the new be lived.
I am counting on you to do the good things I have planned for you since the beginning of time.
Trust Me to show you, then follow Me.
My plans are to give you a hope and a future.
I call you to share that hope and future with others.
You alone can do what I have gifted you to do.
My plans for all my children cannot be fulfilled without your active trust and participation.
I love you.
Walk in my daily sufficient grace.
Trust Me.
Love Me.
Love others.
My daughter, I love you with an everlasting love.
Now go forth and share that love with everyone.
I created you for this time, this place, for just such a time as this.
Be still and know Me, and you will trust that I am with you always.
Never weary in doing good for my special favor lies with you.
You are a new creation wholly and dearly loved.
