When do you feel God dripping His grace on you?
I feel it when I am as low to the ground as a human can get without becoming a part of it.
To those of us who have messed up – and good – and felt mercy in a palpable way, that grace is a gift of great significance. The relief that floods in after being forgiven can bring me to my knees.
At no time is grace more evident to me than when I, in my desperate attempt to matter, muck it up with others I love. It is then that I deserve nothing but condemnation. And instead, I hear, “That’s okay. We all make mistakes.” Praise God for His mercy, through others, in those moments.
Why am I surprised when, time and time again, while working through an inward struggle, I crack open my Bible to read and find The Very Verse needed to both convict my heart of my rebellion and encourage my heart of my redemption?
Grace.
In spades.
Right there.
Dripping onto me right from The Very Word itself.
Yes indeedy.
Drip Your grace onto me, Father God.
Please.
And make my own heart willing to drip it onto others with abandon.
I am so very thankful for God’s grace. And the sweetness of the grace of my brothers and sisters in Christ who give it to me when I mess it up. Working hard to bestow grace to others when they hurt me (or my family). Great post, Missy.
You and me both, Pat. Resting in the fact that grace is an endless supply.
Wonderful reminder! I so need this grace and to learn to drip it on others too.
Me too, friend. Me too!
I need that grace dripped on me every day… every hour… sometimes, every minute 🙂
Amazing Grace… how sweet the sound
How sweet, indeed. This wretch is beyond thankful for it!
