Living in Grace

30 November 2011

1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

It is sometimes in our imperfections that we has our greatest impact, not only what I am good at but also that which I am bad at, makes me who I am. So yes, I talk to much, but can I also care to much? When we realise that when we make mistakes we learn more than when we don’t, (we then actually have learnt something). In the same way we all have our pet issues, what gets us up in the morning and so on, they are not necessarily the issues of that others have.  

So sometimes I say things without forethought or malice, it’s out my mouth and I can never take it back. So when you are up a tree and cutting branches, you learn quickly that if you cut the branch a certain way it falls accordingly, a person below will shout advice and comment, but they are not up the tree doing it. So you learn it is better not to give advice from below the tree to the person actually doing the job.

Each and everyone of us has faults, areas where we can improve, with age though one learns that sometimes it is better to just chill and let things go with the flow. In the Bible we call this grace, because when we stick to the rules we have law, judgement and criticism, constantly needing confession and forgiveness, but with grace we are all OK!!!

Be encouraged today to just allow grace to abound in all things.

David

Point to ponder: God’s grace is sufficient.
