What has God been teaching me this month?
GRACE
During feedback one night last month a teammate said “its about having grace” I shrugged it off and thought to myself whatever.
That night I went to bed.and what she said was floating around in my head. I sat up and Googled “Grace”…and then thought to myself again… Yea whatever..thats not me..I show grace. But really did I??
For the past month God has been throwing up the Grace word in my head. This morning I got up and looked out the kitchen window and what did i see…..
Then i got on Facebook and saw this guys religious preference was GRACE. So i Googled Grace again…bc obviously God is trying to tell me something.
GRACE-noun
1.
elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.
2.
a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment.
3.
favor or good will.
4.
a manifestation of favor, esp. by a superior: It was only through the dean’s grace that I wasn’t expelled from school.
5.
mercy; clemency; pardon: an act of grace.
6.
favor shown in granting a delay or temporary immunity.
And BAM it hit me…God is wanting me to see how much Grace he has for me. AND that he has favor over me..I am his precious daughter and he loves ME.
There is a verse in James 4 – God resisteth the proud but giveth grace to the humble.
Humility is letting go of all your thoughts and ideas about God. It’s
only when that baggage is left behind that God can give the revelation
of grace.
Understanding grace and holding on to old ideas about God is like
putting new wine in old wine skins. The old ways of thinking cannot
contain grace. When you proudly hold to those old thoughts, God
mercifully witholds the revelation of grace – to avoid the bursting that
would result.
