Grace

God's grace is really amazing. It's so amazing that a perfect and holy God would desire to have a relationship with a sinful and weak person like myself. Intellectually I understand that grace exists but that concept is really so hard to truly grasp--that I can be forgiven simply because God will forgive me, and there is nothing I can do to earn it. I'm so thankful that God saw fit to give this gift before the creation of the world. I'm so thankful that God will forgive my sins time and time again even though He knows I will turn right back around and do it again. I'm so thankful that He has brought me so far in life and is so patient with me. I'm so thankful for the risen Jesus Christ who takes away the sins of the world. Praise God!

1 Pet 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade–kept in heaven for you..."
