Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that is greater than all my sin.
God’s unmerited favor- this is the definition of God’s grace.
The grace that Eve experienced after eating the forbidden fruit,
the grace that brought David from infidelity to a throne,
and the grace that saved my life.
I shouldn’t be here…..I wanted to die.
I was so, so tired.
Depression had overcome me.
Addiction was ruling me.
Life
was just,
too,
hard!!!
But God………
I held the bottle of pills in one hand with a bottle of wine in the other.
With tears in my eyes, I said goodbye to family and friends who I thought were better off without me.
And without me moving a finger the open bottle flew from my hand scattering pills all over the carpet.
As I bent to the floor to retrieve my weapon, I began crying…sobbing really.
Angry that God thwarted my plan, and yet, relieved that He did.
His love overpowered me.
His grace redeemed me.
God saved my life that day not because I deserved to live, but because He loved me enough to LET me live. I am fearfully and wonderfully made by a Father whose love for me is as wide as the east is from the west. By a Savior who knows me much better than I know myself. By a King who says that I am worthy.
Saved by Grace. An unmerited favor from the Lord.
Amen!!!!
