Amazing Grace

I am saved by grace. Grace, that as a sinner, I probably don’t deserve. But I am blessed with it anyway.

I am saved through Christ. The Son of God, who died for sinners like me and you, so that we may have everlasting life, if we choose to accept Him.

Someone please tell me how sinners like us are so deserving of such an amazing gift?

I’d say we’re not. We are just loved, by an amazing and perfect God, who sent His son to die for us, and through his blood, we are made clean. Grace and Salvation are by far the two most precious gifts we could ever receive, along with life and unconditional love.

I am a sinner. A sinner, who at times wonders why I deserve gifts like these for all the mistakes and sins that I have brought upon myself. I wonder why I am the way I am and why I make the choices I do. Good and bad.

Well, because that’s the way He made me. God equipped me with a heart that has an infinite capacity to love. He filled me with happiness, so that I may overflow into others. He filled me with mercy and faith so that I may do His work. He also gave me free will to make my own choices, right or wrong. To be able to choose how to use the gifts He has blessed me with. To choose who I love. To choose who I help. To choose how I share my blessings with others.

I haven’t always made the right choices, even recently. And I am sure I will make more wrong choices in the future. Despite the imperfect sinner that I am, He has blessed me with grace and salvation because I chose to live in Him.

I am going to screw up and I am going to be a handful and I am going to sin because I am a sinner. I am also going to live by faith, boldly, and I am going love infinitely because that is the way He made me. Even for all our faults, we are saved, by grace and Jesus Christ. We are truly, truly blessed. And that is amazing.

Feed Yourself, Girl! and be thankful for the gifts of grace and salvation. I know that I am.

1 Peter 5:10
“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
