But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). – Ephesians 2:4-5<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. – 2 Timothy 1:9<\/a><\/p>\n

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.<\/span> – 2 Corinthians 12:9<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGrace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God\u2019s favor.\u201d<\/strong>– Dwight L. Moody*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact of God’s grace overwhelms me this morning. A friend is in the hospital in labor, a month early, preparing to give birth to her baby girl. Another dear one is daily receiving friends to lavish her with love in her battle with\u00a0a raging recurrent\u00a0cancer.\u00a0Family members\u00a0come to mind who have landed their dream job, while others\u00a0endure\u00a0difficult job situations, or no job at all right now. I watch friends celebrate long years of marriage and pray for others whose\u00a0marriages are interrupted by a spouse dying or leaving.<\/p>\n

There is grace for all of us. God’s grace. Undeserved…but full and free…His strength in our weakness.<\/p>\n

I grew up in church singing hymns about grace. One we all know is Amazing Grace<\/em><\/a>. Another one is Grace Greater Than Our Sin<\/em>. What an incredible gift that God gives us – this grace that covers all the darkness (and illuminates all the good) in our lives and fills all the gaps between us and God. Rejoice in this last stanza of that old hymn:<\/p>\n

“Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
\nFreely bestowed on all who believe!
\nYou that are longing to see His face,
\nWill you this moment His grace receive?” – Julia H. Johnston<\/a><\/p>\n

Worship<\/a> with me now, if you can, with the lyrics of a contemporary hymn of grace by Matt Redman:<\/p>\n

It’s there in a newborn cry
\nThere in the light of every sunrise
\nThere in the shadows of this life
\nYour great grace<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s there on the mountain top
\nThere in the everyday and the mundane
\nThere in the sorrow and the dancing
\nYour great grace
\nOh, such grace<\/p>\n

From the creation to the cross
\nThere from the cross into eternity
\nYour grace finds me
\nYes, Your grace finds me<\/p>\n

It’s there on the wedding day
\nThere in the weeping by the gravesite
\nThere in the very breath we breathe
\nYour great grace<\/p>\n

It’s the same for the rich and poor
\nThe same for the saint and for the sinner
\nEnough for this whole wide world
\nYour great grace
\nOh, such grace<\/p>\n

There in the darkest night of the soul
\nThere in the sweetest songs of victory
\nYour grace finds me
\nYes your grace finds me<\/p>\n

Your great grace
\nOh such grace
\nYour great grace
\nOh such grace<\/p>\n

So I’m breathing in Your grace<\/strong>
\n And breathing out Your praise<\/strong>
\n I’m breathing in Your grace<\/strong>
\n Forever I’ll be<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your grace finds me<\/strong>
\n Yes Your grace finds me<\/strong><\/p>\n
