THE GIFT OF GOD'S GRACE

Friday, December 19, 2008

Oh how we all need to receive this gift—the gift of God’s grace upon us.

Read Psalm 32 and let the wonder of God’s grace fill you with joy.

Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be—

you get a fresh start,

your slate’s wiped clean.

Count yourself lucky—

God holds nothing against you

And you’re holding nothing back from him.

When I kept it all inside,

my bones turned to powder,

my words became daylong groans.

The pressure never let up;

all the juices of my life dried up.

Then I let it all out;

I said, “I’ll make a clean breast of my failures to

God.”

Suddenly the pressure was gone—

my guilt dissolved,

my sin disappeared. (Psalm32:1-5 MSG)
