receiving grace

God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift.

- Ephesians 2:8 (NIRV)

 

God’s grace is so beautiful, I truly hope that everyone I know can see it at some point in their lives.
But how many of us are there that haven’t seen it, have never had an experience or circumstance that would cause us to want God’s grace?
So many people know nothing about God’s grace, and they don’t want to know, they want nothing to do with it at all.
They think that they have never seen a miracle, but trust me, everyone has. 
Every baby that is born is a miracle. 
Every illness that is healed is a miracle. 
Every brush with death where someone walked away unscathed, that is a miracle of God’s grace.
It’s a gift that can be given to us, all we need to do is ask for His forgiveness (another gift), repent of our sin and grace comes.
Mercy Me is my favorite contemporary Christian band, and since it’s been a minute since I’ve done a song reference, please enjoy their 2018 hit “Flawless”:
There's got to be more

Than going back and forth

From doing right to doing wrong

Cause we were taught that's who we are

Come on get in line right behind me

You along with everybody

Thinking there's worth in what you do

Then like a hero who takes the stage when we're

On the edge of our seats saying it's too late

Well let me introduce you to amazing grace

No matter the bumps

No matter the bruises

No matter the scars

Still the truth is

The cross has made

The cross has made you flawless

No matter the hurt

Or how deep the wound is

No matter the pain

Still the truth is

The cross has made

The cross has made you flawless

Now, take a deep breath and a moment and get your heart, mind, and soul in the right place. 

Then pray, have that time with God, let Him fill you with His grace. 

Take another moment look around, see the miracles God’s grace all around you.

Let people see God’s grace in you and look for God’s grace in others.
