Ephesians 2:4-6 ESV
John Eldridge
“You are not the orphaned child, sitting out in the hall hoping your busy Father will see one of the notes you have pushed under his door; you are not a homeless beggar standing on the corner hoping God will pass by and hand you a couple of bucks; you are not a refugee, standing at the embassy, hoping the Ambassador will hear your request. Not even a faithful servant, humbling trying to do your best. You are a son or a daughter of the living God, a friend and ally, wielding His authority to get things done.”
