Made Whole
Have you ever felt like something is missing? Maybe you’ve felt like you need some vegetables after too many days of graduation parties. Have you felt like you needed some time with friends after working or schooling for too long without a break? Maybe you just need more sleep. There are many times in my life where I have needed to make room for something that was lacking.
For by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10
