Thanks, God

I opened my Bible today and just happened upon some verses that took my breath away and I wanted to share them.
Ephesians 2:1-6 "It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did this all on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest company with Jesus, our Messiah."
I don't really know what else to say except I'm thankful. Thankful that my God is immense in mercy and has an incredible love. I'm thankful for his embrace. I'm thankful that He has taken my mess of a life that I have offered to Him and has made something alive out of it.
What else can I say? Thanks, God.
