God's Grace...

It is all we need. His grace is sufficient. Unfortunately it is something that we just don't get. The Skit Guys share how we just don't understand why God gives us unmerited grace. We think it is something we need to earn or deserve.

This Holy Week I am reminded that there is nothing that I can do to earn or deserve God's grace, His unmerited favor. I only need to receive it. Accept it. Rest in it. Praise Him for it. I have a Savior who loves me so much that He willingly laid down His life so I could have His grace in my life.

It is all of grace. Free and undeserved. Take it all in. Keep is close. Don't let anyone steal it from you. There are grace robbers out there. Be on guard! They will tell you that you need to do, do, do. But remember that it is done. Once and for all. Finished and paid in full.



2 Cor. 12: 9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me...
