grace!, Grace!!, GRACE!!!

I woke up this morning reminded of my sinful state, knowing I was once an object of wrath.

There was every chance today was going to be a bad day. I stayed up too late last night and stayed in bed too long this morning! I didn't feel that tired, but it had the feel of a day where everything could go wrong.

So what did I do?

I sent up a prayer, a simple acknowledgement of God's authority and I asked if God could help me today.

That's when I begin to see the evidence of God's grace, the very fact that I can pray and pray with confidence, that's a sure sign of grace.

So I hit the A20 and M25 and guess what they are pretty clear! a nice straightforward journey to work - God's grace.

I park for work with plenty of time, so I read my bible and say another little prayer and walk to work. On the way I realise there is a training session this morning starting at 8:30 and I usually get to work for 8:45/9, yet somehow I am at work at 8:25! God's grace that I got to the KIT (training session) on time, and that I even got this job (see previous posts around September time)

My day went OK a few hiccups, a few nice moments, enjoying being with colleagues. Then I head home, a home that's a sure sign of grace that I have a roof over my head.

And then my girlfriend comes over, and we go to the movies and watch a film (Marley and Me)the film was nice, easy to watch, fun and a little bit emotional, but it was the company that blew me away, my gorgeous girlfriend a sure sign of grace!

I don't always recognise God's grace as often as I should, but when I see it I appreciate it. It is amazing that he not only saves us, when we deserved punishment but loves us and cares for us, so much that he will answer our prayers, us, you, me our tiny insignificant prayers, God finds worth in them and finds love to answer them.

I can truly say God lavishes me with grace. When I look at what I deserve, and see what I get I know it is only God's grace. I'm sure if you look from the same perspective, you will give the same answer.
