What
is this ingredient that determines whether relationships are positive or
negative -- the ingredient that is critical to relationships' success, health
and prosperity? What is the element that
leads individuals to lasting commitment?
Is there a special "something" that makes the difference? If so, what is it?
It is
grace.
Grace is the defining attraction
in any significant, meaningful relationship.
Grace is the bonding agent that allows vibrant life to flow from one
individual to another. Grace is the New Testament word that
defines our relationship with our Lord.
The apostle Paul said that we "stand" in this grace (Romans
5:2). Our Lord's heart of grace opened
the treasure vaults of heaven and invited us to receive all of heaven's
blessings that flow from this bottomless source of love. “Praise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms
with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)
