9.2.18 – “God’s grace is not only amazing; it
is also abundant grace, attractive grace and active grace! “Behold, what manner
of love the Father hath bestowed upon us…” is John’s declaration of
astonishment at this grace that is never ending, unfailing, unconditional,
unilateral, and uplifting. “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a
wretch like me, I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see…”
Hallelujah, what a Savior! Grace is the “bridge” between a holy God and sinful
man.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today that you would
have a great appreciation for God’s amazing grace!
John
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth. KJV
“There is a story about two friends who
were walking through the desert. Halfway through the journey they had an
argument and one friend slapped the other in the face. The one who was slapped
felt hurt, but without saying anything he wrote in the sand: "Today my
best friend slapped me in the face." They kept on walking until they found
an oasis where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped began
to drown and his friend saved him. When he recovered from the ordeal, he wrote
on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life." His friend asked
him, "Why, after I hurt you, did you write in the sand and now you write
on a stone?" The man, smiling, replied: "When a friend hurts us, we should write it
down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. And when
something great happens, we should engrave it on the stone of the memory of our
heart, where no wind can erase it."
