The Beauty of God’s Grace
Is
Reflected
In the Holy Spirit’s
Working In Us
Judges 5:3
Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the Lord I will sing, I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Philippians 4:5
Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
Words of Grace For Today
It doesn’t take much to be gentle, …
not really.
It just takes everything we can possibly give to …
to respond to …
well …
to respond with Grace …
with gentle Grace to …
to respond with gentle Grace to all the evil that other people throw at us, on top of us, and under us so that we can do no other than slip and slide to our demise.
Yet … first God responds to us and all our sins with gentle Grace,
gentle Grace …
ah gentle Grace meets our sins though we do not deserve anything of it at all,
not at all, and then
because God so responds to us we have hope …
we have some hope of responding with gentle Grace.
It takes more from us than we can possibly give, and only have some hope of responding gently as the Holy Spirit holds, guides and enlivens us with what we simply cannot find for ourselves,
unconditional love.
Ahh, as the sun rises and sets we simply cannot find unconditional love except as God gives it to us and as others, by God’s Grace, extend it to us and for us.
So gently it comes to us.
And so gently God gives us all that is needed to give gentle Grace to others.
