Today’s scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28
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.

Abundant Grace (2 Corinthians 8:9-15)
Today’s scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9-15
Grace. Unmerited favor.
We are so undeserving of God’s grace. We are so unworthy. We fail so often. We listen to the lies of the world. We compromise truth.
And yet, God sees worth in us. He loves us so much He offers grace and forgiveness even when we don’t deserve it.
Our Savior gave everything for us. Everything. He gave up heaven to come to earth. He took on flesh and experienced temptation. Pain. Fatigue. Sorrow. Death.
All for us. All so that we could receive grace.
Oh, we have been so abundantly blessed because, not only does God offer grace to those who seek Him, but He also gives us strength for each day. He provides for our needs—not our wants, but our needs. He gives us peace and comfort through times of affliction. He loves us unconditionally. He never leaves us alone.
It would have been enough if He’d only offered grace, but He chooses to give us so much more.
No matter what you’re going through right now, God is with you. He’s walking alongside you, every minute of every day. He’s there to hold your hand—and sometimes to carry you—when you just don’t think you can just don’t think you can make it on your own.
You have been blessed. Abundantly.
