We are poor, spiritually for sure; monetarily, perhaps. We’ve buried our dreams, desires, and aspirations and we almost seem to be out of options. Yet Christ approached us while we were yet sinners! “Will you cover us?” we asked Him, and grace smiled. He gave us grace. Not just mercy, mind you, but grace.
Grace goes beyond mercy. Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance. Grace threw him a party.
Mercy prompted the Samaritan to bandage the wounds of the victim. Grace prompted him to leave his remaining money as payment for the victim’s care. Mercy forgave the thief on the cross. Grace escorted him into paradise. Mercy pardons us. Grace woos and weds us. Grace does this! Grace is God walking into our world with a sparkle in his eye and an offer that’s hard to resist.
God's Grace it's more we deserve, greater than we can imagine, and it's all that we need. As we go through our day, show Grace to all mankind and forgive all that hurt you, for forgiveness is more for you than for the person you forgive! Show unconditional Love to all manner of persons you encounter in Life.
