Growing up, Grace, was just my grandmothers name and
something that you sung every now and then, since then it
has taken on a whole new meaning.
You know how it is when you stuff up big time and think
that the consequences are not going to be pretty and then
you find there isn't any. And the times you know for sure
that you are not going to get away with speeding, when
you are sitting at the side of the road and the policeman
is checking out all your details, he comes back and says
"Excuse me ma'am, this time I'm just going to caution
you", what is that?
That my friend is GRACE, kids are really good at showing
grace, they forgive you time and time again when you stuff
up with them.
GRACE is also a free gift that God gives you, when we sing
about "Amazing Grace", some of us know that the writer,
John Newton wrote 'Amazing Grace' after learning that God
forgave him, a slave trader, who had participated in the
death of many slaves at sea.
My own sin, much the same as anyone elses, kept me in
bondage and caused a huge weight for me to carry around
and now knowing that God never intended for me to carry
that, has released me to enjoy who I was created to be,
to enjoy my marriage and children, and the freedom and
peace that goes with it.
One of the greatest things in receiving grace is realising
that we can also show it to others and release them from
their burdens too.
Amazing Grace! Of course it is.
Amen!!!! :)
