Several times in Ephesians 2 we are reminded of previous times in our lives. In those times (see verses 2, 3, 11, 12) we were contrary to what God has in mind for us.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us…” (4)

…made all the difference!

And not just in the past.

But now or whenever I need it in the future.

So instead of losing heart and giving up because of my past (or on-going) failures, I should turn again to God.

Call for His help. Scream for His help (if that’s how I’m feeling).
