Grace.....

 Grace.......

There are books and books written about grace....definitions, exhortations, theological dissertations,  thesis', .....none better than the Bible itself...God In His  unmerited favor reached out to man, whom he created....gifted him with a favor that is far more than we can define Or imagine...

He favors us,  and so much more.....

How can we in our favored state offer anything else to others... The irony of it....

There are times, when I am resentful, stressed, unforgiving, judgmental, preoccupied, angry, hurt...I am not good company, period.....the I have to look up and say, "here I am,   Help me  in this grace thing..I don't understand it, but I know that You make it work, help me, work in me to show You in all I do".   

Thank you for your unrelenting desire that none should perish , showing your grace to all...no matter what ....through all time...

Luke 11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“‘Father,[a]

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come.[b]

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 Forgive us our sins,

    for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]

And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”........

9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
