Grace...

Grace...a word that is thrown around a bit... I think maybe Christians sometimes they are the only ones who get this insane gift from God...Never did Jesus treats anyone as unequal, which is almost the complete opposite of how most live today...What He did say to Paul in 2 Cor is that His grace is sufficient for us, for His power is made perfect in weakness...Weakness, something we all have in one form or another...No matter how hard we try we seem to always fall back into something because of weakness...
Have you ever stopped and actually thought about grace from God? I really tried a few times and it went kind of nowhere…I could not wrap my head around the fact that the creator of us, our body, mind and soul, loves us, no matter what we do. And by us I mean everyone. No one is discriminated by God’s love, not by their looks, actions, or thoughts. For all the crap we do and say, I really don’t see how He finds it in His heart to forgive us for everything, with no strings attached. I use and abuse God for His forgiveness, only coming with desperation and a heavy heart most of the time. And he is right there to say, “Hey, you screwed up, but, you’re just in luck. I have this thing called grace that will repair and mend any hole in your heart and fill it with Me. Dude, don’t you see? The stuff you keep doing will only keep tearing it open and bleeding out. Just put your trust in me man, and it will work out somehow, you’ll see.” Now, I can’t speak for God, but hey, everyone has their own way they talk to God and hear His voice. (My favorite part :) All in all, I really have to say God blows my mind everyday…All I have to do is take a peek and concentrate on what he doing in my life and the lives around me…
Random I know…but it’s the only way to live…
