HE asks me if I get it?

Grace 

It’s all about grace

my amazing grace

full, overflowing

free

amazing grace!

That’s it - in a tight little nutshell

hmmm

how do I live in it?

This morning, the LORD challenged me with those thoughts

asking me if I get it fully

if I live in it?

and if I reach out because of it?

and more so, do I extend it to others.

I hear Him speak to me 

and write down the words as He talks

I sit back

silencing the many thoughts about many things on this day

and focus on this one question to me

HIS question

“do you get it?”

While I believe that I do -

I cannot help but be reminded of the reactions I’ve had -

the thoughts in response to situation,

perhaps even a laugh or two at a story at the expense of another

(often not present as the story is being told)

Ugh!

what does grace have to do with my every day?

absolutely everything!

love

and grace

His grace covers me -

but it also needs to flow through me

regardless of how people make me feel

i need to respond in and with grace

Regardless of how people may hurt my feelings with words or actions

I need to respond in and with grace

Regardless of broken promises, unfulfilled commitments

underserved ridicule or laughter at my expense

perceived or unperceived

grace

grace

grace

grace

GRACE

Always Grace!!

Grace - as Jesus showed us - it is undeserved.

My grace is undeserved yet fully given

no strings attached

given out of the greatest most unconditional love ever ... through Jesus dying for my sin

It’s all about grace

my life

my reason for being

my hope for eternity with Jesus

my faith is grounded and alive because of His grace

I am redeemed

covered

sanctified

and because of that I stand amazed by grace

that I (such as I am)

have this life - this promise - this relationship with Jesus

It’s all about grace

as I see others

talk with others

pray for others

interact with others

in all situations

in all circumstances - good and bad ...

Grace prevails

As He asked me this morning “do you get it”

I stop

I revel in the feeling of tangible grace wash over me, into me, through me

and whisper with a voice of awe

Yes LORD yes ..  I get it.
