“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people of His own who are zealous for good deeds.” (Titus 2:11-14 NRSV)
Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then enables us to yield to its transforming power. Grace matters because Jesus matters, and it works because He does. Amazing hope and anticipation are in this for each of us; imagine how different our lives can be when entrusted to the hands of grace…
Heavenly Father, Holy God, thank You so very much for Your gift of grace. Not a day passes that I don’t need more of Your unending supply of grace. Remind me of Your goodness over and over so that I may live in the fullness of Your grace. Grant that I may be a model of Your goodness in all I do, every day, so others will be compelled to see and accept Your incomparable gift of grace. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
-- Max Lucado in “Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine”
