Please first listen to this song>>
Have you ever recieved a gift you thought you didn't deserve? Did it make you feel uncomfortable? Honored? Blessed? How DID it make you feel?
One gift I know I don't deserve is God's grace. Time and time, again and again, He gives it me however.
This time, I didn't want to take it. I knew I was underserved of it; I wanted to refuse it. I wasn't worthy. Does this make me pridefull? I guess it does...
But that's the greatest thing about God's gift of grace: It's a gift! Gifts are a choice. They are given whether or not the recipient wants it or not. And we have the choice: to humbly and thankfully accept it, or to be proud and reject the gift. Speaking of the latter, how would that benefit us at all?
Sometimes, accepting God's gift of grace is easy. And yet other times, we need to humble ourselves before the Lord and thank Him that His grace never fails us, and that we can always come before Him and He will give it to us.
Please go back and listen to the song if you haven't already, and really think about the words.
Run into His arms of love!
And now listen to this song as well>>
Come before Jesus, lay at His feet and surrender all.
"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefor come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to halp in time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16
