Yesterday, on my way to a lunch appointment, I noticed this truck parked in the Wal-Mart parking lot and took this picture. What a great statement about the Marines! I am so grateful that the standard for the Marines is high and our soldiers are capable to do what they are trained to do; defend and protect. But what really caught my mind’s attention was the difference between the Marine’s statement and God’s; His is “Given, Never Earned”.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9

Take a moment right now and thank God for grace; that he gave us eternal life through his Son’s death and did not demand that we earn it, because we never could! What a God!
