This week women from all over the world spent time each day with Ephesians 1:1-14 in the Glorious Grace study. One of the reasons I love this method is we spend an entire week on the same verses, pulling out Truths, Promises, Commands, and Application from God's Word. I love reading the same passage in different translations, writing out the verses, and memorizing as well.
This passage is rich with truth of God's blessing. We were chosen, pursued by God. Through faith in Christ Jesus I am a child of God! I am blessed with redemption, forgiveness, wisdom, understanding, all of which I am so undeserving of. But God, who is rich in grace and mercy, loves me - and you - enough to choose, accept, and bless us in this way.
I think these verses, Ephesians 1:6-7 say it best.
6So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. 7He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
Those verses make me want to praise His holy name, testify of his glory, and faithfully follow Him!
I love this method of studying God's Word! The Glorious Grace study guide isn't filled with mini sermons. Rather you will find verses to study each week and prompts to get you pulling out truths, promises, and commands from God's Word. Would you like to join me? Pick up your e-copy here. I'll be journaling each Friday here would love to have you join me.

I too love spending an entire week in the same passage! And you're right--this week's verses were just packed with encouragement!
