Subject: Sharing the gift of Grace with others |
Bible Note: What a beautiful gift God's grace is!!! We should except it with heart felt gratitude and "become accurately and intimately acquainted with it." When I received God's love it was the best thing that had ever happened to me. To think that I could be set free from a world of punishment into a world of forgiveness, WOW!!! How could I not forgive others after what I had recieved? But there have been times when I have forgotten about what God has done through His Son and have got caught up in the things around me. Thank God that he draws me back and reminds me to keep my eyes firmly fixed on Jesus the author and perfector of my faith. I have learnt to be quick to repent and ask for forgiveness, to forgive others as I have been forgiven, to accept discipline as correction not punishment, to perservere in trials. God values every human being whether Christian or not and wants everyone to come to the full knowledge of His Grace. We are called to be an example of His wonderful healing love that is beyond all explanation. Let us never grow weary in showing how much God has done for us, let us not grow tempted to justify why some are not worth God's love. For "all have sinned and fallen short" Let us instead find ways to share God's love with everyone, lets use all our combined creative abilities to reach the lost, the lonely, the hurting, the bitter, the confused people of this world. Lets stand together with Christ and say "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing" lets help them to understand Amen |
