Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:25-28, NASB)
Grace. It’s the greatest gift we receive from our Lord God. Unmerited favor. Receiving something amazing even though we don’t deserve it—at all.
I feel so tremendously blessed that God’s grace covers all my sin—past, present, and future.
His grace covered me when I deliberately turned my back on Him, when I went my own way over and over again.
It covers me now when I falter. And I do falter because no matter how I strive to live as Jesus would want, I still sin.
As much as I’d like to think I won’t sin in the future, I know that probably ain’t gonna happen … (Forgive my poor grammar, but it just seems to fit!)
Yet, God’s grace covers it all. It’s a gift I don’t take lightly. I do my very, very best to honor His gift by surrendering my life to Him daily. By doing what He’s called me to do. By serving Him and others. By offering grace to others.
It’s the least I can do.
