Introduction:
Let's go on an exploration of God's abundant grace and unconditional love as revealed in the Bible. Join us in discovering the transformative power of God's grace and the profound impact it has on our lives.
Commentary:
Ephesians 2:8-9 proclaims that by grace we are saved through faith, and that this salvation is not of ourselves, but is the gift of God. This passage highlights the foundational truth of God's grace as the basis for our redemption and relationship with Him.
Romans 5:8 reveals God's love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. This verse underscores the depth and sacrificial nature of God's love, which is manifested through His grace.
Titus 2:11-12 teaches us that the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. God's grace not only saves us but also empowers us to live transformed lives.
2 Corinthians 12:9 reassures us that God's grace is sufficient for us, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. This verse encourages us to rely on God's grace in all circumstances, knowing that His love never fails.
Questions:
How has God's grace impacted your life and understanding of salvation?
In what ways can you demonstrate God's grace and love to those around you?
How does relying on God's grace empower you to live a life of righteousness and godliness?
What steps can you take to grow deeper in your experience of God's grace and share it with others?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your abundant grace and unfailing love that are freely given to us through Christ Jesus. Help us to fully embrace the depth of your grace and allow it to transform us from the inside out. May we live each day in the light of your love, extending grace and compassion to others as we have received from you. Amen
Ephesians 1:11-14. “Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[b] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.”
Colossians 1:11b-14. “May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.”
1 Peter 1:3-5. “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.”

“God’s Healing Grace” By In Touch Ministries:
“Because of Christ, our brokenness is being made whole, and we can look forward to a glorious future.”
“In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul wrote that God brought “all things together in Christ” (Eph. 1:10). This means that because of Jesus, we are being healed in ways we could never have accomplished on our own. His death and resurrection:
• Freed us from sin. We are indwelt by God’s Spirit and have His power to resist temptation and obey.
• United us with our Savior. We live in Christ and He lives in us. He is with us always, wherever we go.
• Made us family. God is our heavenly Father, and we are His sons and daughters. Our spiritual family extends all over the world.
• Transferred us into the kingdom of light. The world is ruled by darkness, but anyone who calls Jesus “Savior” lives in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12-13). We are citizens of heaven.
• Gave us an eternal inheritance. We’ve already inherited the promises of Scripture, but more awaits us in heaven (1 Peter 1:4).
• Initiated sanctification. To sanctify means “to make holy.” With our cooperation, the Spirit transforms us into Jesus’ likeness throughout our years on earth.
When life wears you down, ponder all the ways God is actively healing you. He won’t give up on your redemption, even if you at times feel like giving up.” Amen! 🙌

May your Holy Spirit work in my heart and help me let go of my stubborn ways. I don’t want to continue insisting on doing things the way I please because it never leads me anywhere good. Heal any wounds in my heart that cause me to be stubborn. Help me yield to your Spirit who will help me do what you want me to do. Remind me every day that your divine wisdom is greater than my limited human wisdom. 1Corinthians 1:25.
Thank You for the thoughts that You have for me, thoughts of mercy, forgiveness and favour. Help me to start thinking like you think. Open my eyes to see your ways. Help me to walk in Your light running away from darkness. Isaiah 55:8.
An uplifting poem because I'm having an anxiety attack that is taking forever to pass. The poem took my mind off it a bit.

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

When I think of the ocean, it is fathomless and deep. God’s mercy is an ocean and we are all invited into its depths.
This past weekend, for our 35th anniversary, my husband and I along with two of our siblings and their spouses, visited the Casa Maria Retreat House in Irondale, Alabama.
My sister, Laura, and her husband, Jim, invited us months ago. We had no idea what to expect. That in itself…
