Gift of Grace

It hit me the other day, a few of my posts may be coming off leaving you feeling for me. I've accepted grace and I don't feel bad for myself, but I guess what's coming out is that I do feel bad for others that haven't experienced grace for themselves so it leaves them only knowing how to judge someone who has accepted grace. So I find myself defending grace quite a bit. In my heart, I want them to accept grace like I did, because until they do, they'll never understand how much God loves them. They'll never understand exactly what it was that God did for them. I don't think we stop our busy lives often enough to think about how we would feel if we gave our one and only Son to go through what He went through for us. Sure we know that He knew what would happen in the end. Have you ever had to face surgery and you knew that in the end everything would be allright? That still doesn't make it any easier to take the first step of just picking up the phone and making the appointment with the doctor. That's the easy part. God did the easy part when He sent His Son to us as a baby. The hard part was enduring everything the world put Him through all the way to Him dieing on the cross. This Christmas season take time to accept the gift of grace that God gave us when He gave us His Son.
