""I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am" "
— John Newton
"For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace to me was not without effect. No I worked harder than all of them-yet not I, but the grace of God was with me."
-Apsotle Paul (1cor.16:9)
it does not matter where we have come from, or where we are... His Love is not about our perfomance or measuring up to our personal merit. it is too outrageous to believe someone could Love like Christ does; to Love someone in spite of themselves. Grace is a concept Too crazy that people miss it.
"Lord I do not understand your grace, your love. But I want to move past trying to reason you out of taking interest in me and to accept and fully embrace your Grace. I need your Grace and though some times I try to earn the good that you have to offer; thank you Lord that it is not up to me or any other man but up to you to bless me and fill me up not because of who I am but because of who you are. in Jesus name. Amen."

His grace is awesome- humbling yet uplifting at the same time. To think that He loves me even I dont see myself as lovely...This God we serve is wonderful like that.

This is a lovely post, thanks for the reminder on grace. It's something I've been thinking about real hard recently. Thanks for visiting my blog and keep surviving on grace, too! Bless.
I can never understand his grace.
Because of grace, Jesus got what i deserved and I got what Jesus deserves. I just thank God because if not for grace I wouldn't be who I am.
I run towards grace, walk in it and use it for each day!.
