From Ephesians 1:4-5: “Just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him in love. He destined us for adoption as His children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will.”
Father’s divine design
Anchored in His love
Through our Lord Jesus Christ
Grace shines from above
Father showing mercy
Love’s eternal gift
Patient kindness sending
Life-changing airlift
Father guiding all things
Built around His love
Sending His only Son
Hope reigns from above
Father always believes
Love’s goodness in man
Rejoicing in His truth
Redemption’s firm plan
Father’s forgiving act
Filled with lasting love
His wisdom and insight
Praise His glory above
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-6: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth.”

Ah yes, I was focusing on God’s grace today, too. I love your “Anchor” reference! “Anchored in His love Through our Lord Jesus Christ – Grace shines from above.” Indeed!! Beautifully written, Richard.
