God's Overflowing Grace

God can do all things.

             Mark 10:27 

     Scriptures abound that show God’s grace at work through the ages. The New Testament contains picture after picture of the grace of God at work. The Old Testament’s portrait of God’s grace is mesmerizing. God’s grace so abundantly chases after us that we cannot outrun it, outlast it or outlive it. It is forever.

     Thinking about all of that, I began making a list of words that describe the grace of my God. I am sure the list is incomplete and that you can add your own words to mine. Perfect!  

        God’s Grace is: 

        Redeeming

        Saving

        Cleansing

        Serving

        Abounding

        Rescuing

        Overflowing

        Securing

        Purging

        Healing

        Comforting

        Strengthening

        Praying

        Trusting

        Changing

        Supplying

        Sustaining

        Confessing

        Plentiful

        Limitless

        Stubborn

        Tireless

        Precious

        Persistent

        Fearless

 

     God’s grace gives courage to the fearful. Peace in the midst of turmoil. Joy in the midst of sorrow. Calm in the midst of anger. Hope in the midst of hopelessness. Freedom to those who are bound by sin. It is abundantly overflowing and never ending.

     No amount of paper and ink can adequately describe God’s grace. Money cannot buy it and thieves cannot steal it. It is a gift and it is yours and mine for the asking. 

      Whatever our schedules hold for today, let us remember to take time to STOP and thank God for His grace. It is life giving, life altering and life abundant.
