The riches of God's grace

Haiku responding to Eph.. 1:3-14

Blessed be the God

and Father of Jesus Christ

who has blessed us all.

He chose us in Christ

before the world's creation

to live in his love.

We have been destined

for adoption as children

by God, through Jesus.

We have forgiveness

through the riches of God's grace,

lavished upon us.

God's plan is for all,

to be gathered in Christ, in

heaven and on earth.

Our inheritance

in Christ is our destiny;

to glorify God

We who heard the truth

of the gospel, and believed,

received God's Spirit.
