By The Grace Of God....(A Post of Sharing)

As I work through disappointment I draw on Grace. Grace never really makes sense.

It is given to those I think should not deserve it.

It enables me to love those I don't want to.

It causes me to reflect on my own neediness, and the Greatness of God.

It allows me to give comfort, even when I am in distress.

It allows me to heal, even when I am wounded.

It gives me hope and from that hope springs joy.

I came across this on Dr Conner's blog and it made me think and reflect on what it means to us. "By the grace of God", we always say. Do we really mean it? Do we think that we deserve it? Perhaps it's not meant to be. But truly, by the grace of the highest one, he gave it to us, regardless of what we've done. Besides grace, he also gave us mercy. I believe we have seen many scenerios, whether it's through self or someone else, that you see people begging for mercy when one is in deep trouble. God has given us many things that we don't deserve. Truly God, your grace is enough. To end this off, here's a song taken off from Switchfoot's "The Economy Of Mercy":

In the economy of mercy
I am poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my songs begins
In the colors of Your goodness
In the scars that mark Your skin
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
