We are fortunate to live in God’s grace. Grace is the good
news of Jesus. In addition to Webster’s definitions of the ways we use the
word, like “goodwill” and “beauty of form or movement,” there is the
definition, “God’s love.” Yes, grace is God’s love poured out through His Son. We
live in His grace day by day and as we continue to talk about the “more” of
Jesus, there it is. His abundant grace.
For from
His fullness, we have received grace upon grace. John 1:16 ESV
When we think we
can’t be forgiven one more time, when that nasty habit rears its ugly head,
when we speak out in anger or use God’s name in vain, the Holy Spirit convicts
us with a gentle voice and Jesus waits for us again to come back to Him. He reminds
His children that it was finished on the cross. He never leaves us. He just
keeps washing over us with His grace. And then more grace. Grace upon grace.
Jesus,
Thank you for Your never-ending grace. Your gospel is the
gospel of grace. What a beautiful gift from You. May we never forget it. It is
Your gift. The gift of everlasting life. The gift we didn’t deserve and You
give it with grace.
Amen
