Pause and envision that we are in the royal dining room of God. Not because we deserve it, but because of His promise; He calls us to take a permanent place at His table. At once you notice what awaits you:
You are beyond condemnation. You are a member of His kingdom.
You have been adopted. You have access to Him at any moment.
You have an imperishable inheritance and will never be abandoned.
No wonder we should bless His holy name in thanksgiving and praise; to proclaim His love in the morning and His faithfulness at night. Sing for joy, "How Great is our God"; we will exalt Him forever. He is our solid rock.
Our Lord reins, and is robed in Majesty. His throne was established long ago and it cannot be removed for eternity.
Any one who is living has hope. Just look to the cross as Jesus beckons you; calls you into life where death no longer reigns. What a priceless gift when you are reconciled in His great name; Jesus, the Holy Lamb of God. He shows His undeserved love and shows He is also just. Jesus saves!
Therefore, we should live a life worthy of our calling. Being completely humble and gentle, bearing each other in love keeping the unity of peace through the Spirit. Anything we do for Him we should do with all our strength and might. We should be mature and courageous attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Put off your old self and put on the new, by waiting your hearts will become hardened and you will lose your sensitivity. We were created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
And this truth is the most wondrous one of all we were sealed for the day of redemption.
O, what a "priceless gift"; O, my soul.

very uplifting! It is always good to remember that it is about Him, not about us. We have never deserved anything other than contempt, yet our God love us anyway.
