Grace and More Grace


     Gracious living flows into us from God’s grace to us through the gift of Jesus. Some of the definitions for “grace” or “graciousness” include;

Unmerited favor

God’s love

A prayer before a meal

Beauty in movement

Kindness

     Take in God’s gracious love for you in a real way. Let the living water wash over you until it soaks into the depths of your soul. He can heal the missing pieces. As He heals us and makes us whole, we become filled with that same love and grace. Shower favor on others, pray for them, and share God’s love and kindness. Nothing is impossible with Jesus. He changes everything!

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5:1-2

     Remember on the days of struggle, the days you wonder how to get through, the days of doubt and worry, God’s grace is sufficient. It is all we need.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

     What a promise! He shines even brighter at our weakest moments, as we rely on Him for grace for the moment. Put on your spiritual clothes and flow with grace.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Colossians 3:12

Heavenly Father,

Lead us by example. We are Your children sent into the world by You and through Your beloved Son. Let grace flow through us as we carry on the heritage of our Father, through Jesus.

Amen
