as i was writing my last blog, i was hit with the grace of God.
honestly, i did not expect it, my last blog was not going to be part of another blog.
but then, it hit me, out of nowhere, unexpected in the middle of a bookstore.
among people, among everyday life.
grace.
God's grace.
grace comes from the greek word charis. in greek, it means to rejoice.
it was meant to signify favor, goodwill, and lovingkindess granted from a superior to an inferior.
it occurs 156 in the New Testament, something that is offered from the Father of heaven to His lost children, us, who do not deserve it.
honestly, i always thought that John 3:16 and all the stuff about Jesus saving us was so boring, because i had grown to know it as book knowledge.
as my life changes and as God becomes more real, Jesus becomes so significant, so life changing.
more and more, Jesus is becoming a heart and soul matter.
no longer is He a felt board character, He's real. and He's really come to save me.
to give me grace.
it's so simple, yet so big.
everything pivots on it, without it we are nothing.
and here i am in a book store recieving it. grace.
in the book of Titus in the 2nd chapter, verse 11 it reads:
"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people."
thank God that grace is offered to everyone.
i needed it on the first day of my life with Jesus, and i still need it today.
so here i am in a book store recieving grace.
unmerited, or as non religious people say, not deserved, grace.
His grace.
