GRACE

 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph. 2 : 8-10 


Grace has been on my mind this week. What is grace? approval, favor, mercy & pardon.I am far from perfect and everyone knows that. I am not squeaky clean. I have made mistakes. I have hurt others. If you're reading this and know that I have hurt or offended you I'm sorry.I am  not using this as  stage to put my apologizes out there. Just know I have made a lot people hurt. People will forever look at me and say yeah sure you're christian. I will forever be judged by my past. To most of the people who still allow me to be a part of their life I still say I am sorry. What makes me saved? its Grace. He has favor over my life. He loved me so much he died to forgive me. He gave me mercy when everyone judged me.Even though I was guilty and everyone knew it!!!He said I clear your debit. I know its because of his grace that I am saved. Its not because of my smiles or good attitude. Its  not by how much much I help the homeless. Its not by anything that I have done. I cant say I own grace. It was given to me as a gift. It was given to me as a second chance. Its because I don't own it I can say you can get it to. Regardless of your past. Regardless of what people know as. I want you to know that it can change. Know today that there is a God who loves you so much. He gave his son to die for not just me but for you. That even with all my mess he cleaned me up and made me new. He can do that for you. Just give him a chance.
