Personal reflections on grace
Grace, is an overflowing river it cannot be contained and restrained without it being frustrated (i.e. ceasing to be really grace). You can’t receive it without giving it back, because it’s a motivating power. God gave grace to make us free and to make us channels of blessings.
The great apostle said … “Ye all are partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how greatly I long after ye all in the bowels(heart) of Jesus Christ.”
Grace always goes ahead, it can go to anybody in spite of the person’s themselves but doesn’t leave them the same – it made God love me and Christ die for me while I was yet a sinner. It made God accept me as a son, when I hadn’t even dared to say to him “Abba“, or relate to him as to a father because he saw me ahead of me, and believed in me. That’s what grace does any day, anytime, any where; it gives someone a chance, it invests in someone.
Another thing I might add, Grace isn’t an escape from the warfare or excuse from the race; not automatic victory but assured victory.
