What is the most awesome thing you have experienced in your life?
Can you remember an event, an experience, that made your jaw drop in silent awe? Perhaps it was a breathtaking sunrise or painted sky sunset more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.
Maybe it was the warm embrace of a trusted friend during a difficult time of brokenness and grief. Better yet, perhaps it was a moment you had planned for, and the day had finally arrived, filled with joy and happiness, and you desired that it would never end.
There is a majesty in such moments that reflect the marvelous, loving hand of God. He is ever working, ever pouring His love into our lives and hearts. Have you recognized His presence? Have you experienced the majesty of God’s grace? He lavishes His unconditional love in our lives to reveal our need for Him.
God’s awesome & infinitely wonderful, with such amazing grace!
Just think of it!
How does God’s grace make a difference in our lives?
Grace is receiving an undeserved gift which God has freely offered to us.
Just like a surprise package that arrives unexpectedly, God loves, and so He gives His very best.
To understand the richness of God’s grace, we must also consider His tender mercy towards us. Mercy is not to receive what we do deserve, such as punishment. God is a Holy and Just God, and we fall short of His standards of perfection because of our sin. Sin means to miss the mark – as in archery when one misses the target – and thereby suffer the consequences.
Sin is a serious offense against God. It separates us from Him and others, and offers a wage of death!
Death!
God, through His tender mercy and by the majesty of His grace, saves us from eternal separation from Him. The punishment we deserve for our sin, He took upon Himself when He sent His one and only Son to die in our place. Jesus took the death penalty we deserve!
God is patient.
He longs for us to return to Him and to be restored in right relationship with Him.
God is kind.
He is gentle with us and knows we are fragile and temporary.
God is trustworthy.
He never does anything wrong and always speaks truth to us.
God is perfect.
While we need many things, God never lacks anything because nothing can compare to His greatness!
And best of all, God forgives.
Why? Because He loves with an unfailing, everlasting love and has drawn us to Himself!
“4 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love 5 that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered. 6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, 7 in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift. 9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore, no one should boast. 10 For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.” ~ Ephesians 2:4-10
My prayer for you is that you would receive God’s gift of salvation; that by agreeing with God that you fall short, you confess that you now believe that Jesus died for your sins personally. Turn away from your own way.
Rise up and live a life of fulfillment with joy that is not only for the here and now,
but much greater than this, for ALL of eternity.
You were created in God’s image to live and enjoy Him forever.
This song captures the wonder and majesty of God’s grace.
I pray that this blesses your soul and changes you forever!
BLESSINGS!
But For Your Grace -Rita Baloche |Amazing grace how sweet the sound
But for Your grace, I could not be saved.
But for Your grace, I would go my way.
I’m forever grateful that You have been faithful to me, Lord,
And for Your amazing grace.
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.
