Sinking in Grace!

Grace Defined

The word GRACE  came from the Greek. In Greek it was related to chairo, “to rejoice.” It came to signify “favor,” “goodwill,” and “lovingkindness” — especially as granted by a superior to an inferior.

In the New Testament, “grace” is used 156 times and takes on a special redemptive sense in which God makes available his favor on behalf of sinners, who actually do not deserve it.

I love the song, "How he loves us." By David Crowder Band. My favorite line is, "If your GRACE is an ocean we are all sinking.” If we look at that line and take into consideration how many times on a daily bases that God gives us GRACE we are definitely drowning! Over and over again we fail, we sin, and we fall short but the amazing part is God’s GRACE is enough. God’s love is unending. I don’t know about you but for me, that’s a hard concept to grasp!

 We live in a society where the media shapes us into the way we think, act and how we feel about ourselves and even others. This false idea of what we are here on this earth to accomplish is planted into our heads at a young age. We focus on all the negative aspects of life and view people according to all the things they've done wrong and when it comes to ourselves we never feel sufficient enough. But we have to remind ourselves that God sent his son to die for all of OUR sins! God simply wants us to live for him and accept his GRACE.

Learn from your mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Don’t take advantage of God’s GRACE but don’t resist it!
