I posted this on Jason’s comments yesterday …
Grace – wow… that’s a huge one. I so believe in grace. God’s grace amazes me. The fact that no matter what I do, He continues to give it to me � over and over � as endless as the universe seems to be. Grace is God accepting me where I am despite all my flaws and failures. Grace is God loving me despite the fact that I treat Him so poorly by my foolish decisions, my neglect of fellowship with him, my focus on the things of the world and the pursuit of them rather than abandoning all and chasing after Him … He gives me grace. He loves me. So much so that he took the pain of sin upon himself and died for me. “I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross…” Man… to get a grip on that is staggering.
So what else can I say about God’s grace � it is so personal and impacts me in such a huge way that it is difficult to put into words. I think this old song says it best.
Amazing Grace … how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me… I once was lost but now I’m found … was blind but now I see.
Thank you Lord for your grace and love to me, an undeserving sinner to whom you chose to give and extraordinary gift of life.
