“For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God.”
(Ephesians
2:8 NIV)
Grace.
Maybe you say it before a meal or maybe you offer someone forgiveness long before
they ask for it. Either way and in any circumstance, grace goes before us. Long
before any of us were born or walked this earth, God’s grace traveled before
us; preparing the way for our arrival. Grace is God saving us from our fervent
follies long before we realize it, while grace constantly and consistently
pursues. Grace is God’s invitation to respond to this unwavering and undying
action with faith and trust that God will catch us; receive us; embrace us on
the other side of our choices. Receive this free gift from God in faith today.
