What is grace?
It
is to us as a sunrise is to the new day.
It dispels darkness, bringing forth light and hope.
A new beginning… Extended daily, but once dispensed, it
can not be rescinded.
Though it sometimes gets cloud-covered, make no mistake,
it is still there.
It is free, yet priceless.
By no effort of our own, it comes forth. We are powerless
to stop it, for it is a gift given to us…a gift of unmerited
favor by the Creator.
We watch it unfold. We delight in it. We give thanks for
it. It brings us into newness, that which has never been
or seen or lived before.
In its fullness, it is blinding…breathtaking…glorious…a
bit of God Himself revealed to us.
One could easily miss it if sleeping or unaware. It speaks
silently, without words…
Peace. Joy. Redemption. A Savior's love. God and God alone
sends it, and He alone opens our eyes and understanding
to see it. God's Riches at Christ's Expense
GRACE
It is sufficient.
