Grace

Grace and Peace be unto you from God our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ:

Hello Everyone: 

Today I was thinking on Grace.  To be honest, it was from a message that Bishop TD Jakes preached at our church on this past Sunday and it is still ringing in my ears.  He was talking about Paul’s opening address to the church at Ephesus using the Christian Greeting Grace and Peace that I always use at the beginning of my lessons.

The word grace comes from a word that means favor.  While he touched on so many things the part that really sticks out for me is the statement that he made that no matter what we are going through, God has already given us the “grace” to handle or go through.   While I know that we have all heard this statement before it was something about hearing it on this past Sunday that encouraged my heart so.   My mind seemed to click and all the things that I am going through just seemed so trivial in light of the awesome God I serve and the fact that he has graced me with all I need to be victorious.   I love this life in Christ.

Stay encouraged everyone and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
