Just what is GRACE? (The Hebrew word for grace is khen. This word is used many times in the Old Testament.) The Message version of the Bible states in Psalm 145: 8-9:” God is all mercy and grace— not quick to anger, is rich in love. God is good to one and all; everything he does is soaked through with grace.”

God’s grace is given in love.  It is kindness, compassion, caring. God loves us unconditionally and through that love, He extends to us, (though sinners and undeserving in so many ways), His kindness, compassion and care. GRACE.

Knowing Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord and I am His child, I am fully aware He died for my sins, so I can be forgiven of my sins. What a gift! The wrapping on this gift He has given is GRACE.  Given in love, kindness, compassion and caring pour over my sins. I ponder this world we live in, the turmoil, the wars, the unrest, the anger, and wonder if we can follow our Lord’s example. What if we extended GRACE to one another? If you are quick to anger, and spit out unkind words or turn your back on someone in need, you are not showing GRACE.  Can you imagine showing kindness, compassion and caring attributes? Our world would be changing in front of our own eyes.

Learn from our sweet Lord. As He pours His grace on you, learn to extend GRACE to those around you.
