Thought for the Day: God is asking me to go to a new place - a place of grace!
I remember the time in my life when my heart learned what brain knew...God's grace! I wanted to plaster it on Facebook, "Why had no ever taught me this about God's grace?" Sure I had heard the word used & I sung about it in the church choir. To realize how merciful & gracious He is, well as much as my feeble mind is about to understand His mercy & grace. It makes me sad when people talk about not being good enough yet for God, or they have made too many mistakes or even legalistic views telling other believers that they have ruined their testimony & God can't use them now. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? No one is good enough that's what makes His grace so amazing! He loves us even though, He knows our every word BEFORE we speak it, He knows our every action, our every motive, our every thought. AND He loves us ANYWAYS! How amazing is that! Also, He is gracious to forgive us when we sin, His grace does not stop at salvation!
"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I see;
was blind, but now I see.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils & snares,
we have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far,
and grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
then when we've first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was blind, but now I see'
was blind but now I see."
