Hurricane Grace

From his fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16 NIV

"Another storm in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Grace," came the meteorologist's report.

"Did I just hear that right? A storm named Grace?" I questioned myself.

Grace what a name for a storm, I mean if it turned into a hurricane what kind of destruction and devastation could it leave behind. Not exactly the idea I have for grace. Luckily, Tropical Storm Grace dissipated in the Caribbean.

Grace, God's amazing grace-God's Riches At Christ Expense.

God's grace has always been there. It's been there since before He created the world. God's grace has been there from the moment you were conceived. He has always loved you and cared for you and He always will. He woos you to Him, calling you, caring for you, being there for you even before you recognize that it's Him.

So we've messed up, we've done things we hope nobody will ever find out. God has a cure for that. It is through His son's sacrifice that we are saved. This is where Christ Expense comes in. He came to earth for one purpose, to become the unblemished lamb to take on all the sins of men/women. He took these on himself even before we were born. The only way to receive this grace is to accept this free gift Christ has given you. He will bear your faults, sins, secrets...don't worry He can take it.

Maybe if Tropical Storm Grace had become a strong Hurricane we could have seen all of our messes and mistakes spinning around the center, the eye. God is like the eye, the calmness of the storm watching us all spin out of control. Each of us creating our own havoc, with Him just sitting there wondering when we will come to Him and His calmness. Then once we do He will calm the winds and dissipate the storm.

God's grace will bring you many blessings, blessings that only He can bring.
