Grace

It is always amazing to me that God's love is limitless. Even though I am sometimes cranky, ungrateful and unthinking, He still loves and forgives me. Grace. God's grace, as it says in the song, is greater than all my sin.

As petulant as I was yesterday, He was unchanging and unfailing in His love. In fact, there is nothing any of us can do to cause Him to love us one bit less, or to make Him love us any more. God's love is total. It's absolutely pure and completely unconditional. Think about that for a moment. It's simply incomprehensible!

It's really too bad that guilt drives people away from God. Realization of our sin ought to send us straight to His throne. It is a seat of mercy. Jesus died for all our sins. The ones we've already committed as well as those we'll fall into tomorrow. He offers complete forgiveness as a free gift for those who will accept it. It's truly sad how many folks refuse.

So, today I went to see my neurologist and got a prescription for my pain meds. I was able to fill that in about an hour so was home by early afternoon. My mood was better even though my body still feels awful. God is good and I trust and love Him with all that I am... even though I sometimes tell Him and the world that I don't like some of life's tests and lessons. Paul said to count it all joy when we face various trials, pains and problems... God is using them for our good and His glory. We are growing and learning.

So today, I am praising Him, thanking Him, loving Him more and more. I cannot understand His GRACE, but I walk in it moment by moment with complete dependence.
