Grace... is it not the reason that we have life? God chose to give us grace, He didn't have to give it. I am amazed by His love for us. I was reading today in I Corinthians 15:10 "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." Its that spectacular to know that even though we don't deserve grace God gives us total forgiveness, total unconditional love. We can try our very best to get somewhere- Nursing school for me- but it is by the grace of God that he gets you there- or that I got in this Nursing school. I did what I thought I had to do and God met me within my effort. Another verse came to mind after I had read I Cor. 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." This verse always strikes me with God's sovereignty through our time of need. And Ephesians 2:8-10, " For it is by the grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God- not by works, so that one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." So we are not worth grace but it is because of God's ultimate love for us, that He came to save us and give us the gift of grace. Do you find evidence of God's Grace for you in your daily life? I am surrounded by it. Every breath that inflates my lungs is taken for granted but not any longer... I pray that I may be more grateful for life... more grateful for His grace.
