Romans 6:14
As the year draws to a close, looking back I can see the countless times I saw God’s hand at work in my life. And the many moments I experienced His wonderful favor. An unmerited, amazing grace, that sustained, comforted, and guided me. God’s grace is a beautiful expression of His awesome love that redeems and frees us. It’s a gift that transforms our lives. One that breaks the chains of sin and ushers in the freedom found only in Jesus. I love what Pastor Max Lucado says. “Grace is simply another word for God’s tumbling, rumbling reservoir of strength and protection. It comes at us not occasionally or miserly but constantly and aggressively, wave upon wave. We’ve barely regained our balance from one breaker, and then, before we can catch our breath, here comes another.” As we embrace the closing chapter of the year, may the grace we have received be a source of inspiration for extending the same grace to others. Entering this new year and new season with a spirit of compassion, forgiveness, understanding and love.
