Christ apportioned it." Ephesian 4:7
Grace is what beauty looks likes when it moves.
God's grace is what He looks like when He moves, acting
out His will through us.
Those on whom God's grace rest are truly. . .
Gracious. They are truly beautiful. The cerebral -palsied
Young man who smiles despite a dreary existence in a
Nursing home. They elderly woman who always seems
To think of others rather than her aches and pains. the
Mother of two toddlers who is happy to baby-sit the
Neighbor's little boy. The pastor and his wife who take in a
homeless couple for a week while they look for lodging.
These people shine with a hint of glory. They shine because
God's grace.
Grace is God's energy, all bright, beautiful, and full
Power. And grace is most beautiful when is moving through
Us to touch the lives of others who hurt.
Grace binds you with far stronger cords
Than the cords of duty or obligation
Can bind you.
Grace is free, but when once you take it,
You are bound forever to the Giver
And bound to catch the spirit of the
Giver. Like produces like.
Grace makes you gracious, the Giver
Makes you give.
E. Stanley Jones
Do you desire to be gracious? Christ apportions
grace. First, a small measure in accordance with
your faith, Which may be small. But then like
morning sun dawning, your faith grows and grace
fills you with its full and excellent brightness.
God of grace, I long to be beautiful in you, I long
To be gracious to others. May Your beauty shine
Through me today as I move in Your will.
