Grace Changes Everything

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - 2 Corinthians 12:19

Grace!

The unmerited favor of God that even if we don't deserve, God gave it to us. That's Grace! It is a gift and cannot be earned. It is Free but Not Cheap because it cost the life of  the Son of Man at the cross. As a matter of fact it is costly, no one can ever afford to pay it that's why it's freely given to us.

Every time I look at the Cross, it reminds me of the greatest demonstration of God's Grace! that someone laid His life for a sinner like me. Someone paid the penalty in exchange for our freedom! someone shed His blood so that we may have life. How can we not love Him! We are bought with a price, a price without measure, because in His sight we are precious. What a beautiful exchange. I guess we can never really appreciate the grace of God unless we truly realize how sinful we are because where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more.

It is His grace that embraces who I am. At the cross, Jesus lost His identify so we may have one. An identity that is built in Christ Jesus and not of this world. So make stronghold of your identity in Him and never let anyone steal it. Be secured in Him. Stand on who we are in Christ and not in the eyes of men because at the end of the day, it is still His grace and love that will sustain us.

I thank God for His grace because it is by His grace that I was able to do immeasurable things that my own flesh cannot do. It changes me, it changes everything!:-)
