TAPESTRY OF GRACE

TAPESTRY OF GRACE

"THEREFORE, THE LORD LONGS TO BE GRACIOUS TO YOU, AND THEREFORE HE WAITS ON HIGH TO HAVE COMPASSION ON YOU. FOR THE LORD IS A GOD OF JUSTICE; HOW BLESSED ARE ALL THOSE WHO LONG FOR HIM." ISAIAH 30:18. NASB

I JUST FINISHED A RETREAT A FEW WEEKENDS AGO, CALLED "TAPESTRY OF GRACE". IT WAS A GREAT WEEKEND OF FELLOWSHIP, LAUGHTER AND WORSHIP.

DID YOU KNOW GOD LONGS TO BE GRACIOUS TO YOU? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE?

AS I PREPARED FOR THIS RETREAT THE LORD TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS ABOUT HIS GRACE. I LEARNED THERE ARE AT LEAST 166 REFERENCES IN GOD'S WORD ABOUT GRACE. IT MUST BE IMPORTANT FOR IT TO BE MENTIONED BY GOD THAT MANY TIMES. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I DO NOT WANT TO MISS HIS GRACE. I NEED HIS GRACE.

HE SAYS, "HE LONGS TO BE GRACIOUS" TO ME AND YOU. TAKE TIME TODAY TO LONG FOR HIM AND RECEIVE HIS GIFT OF GRACE. AS WE RECEIVE GRACE, WE IN TURN CAN BECOME GRACE-GIVERS!

MY LIFE IS ONE MARKED BY GOD'S GRACE. DAY IN AND DAY OUT GOD HAS TOUCHED ME WITH HIS HAND. EACH TOUCH DEMANDS A RESPONSE. IT MAY BE A CALL TO SERVICE, A CALL TO TESTIMONY, A CALL TO OBEDIENCE, A CALL TO REPENTANCE OR EVEN A CALL TO PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING.

ARE YOU RECOGNIZING GOD'S GRACE IN YOUR LIFE? STOP, LOOK, LISTEN! HE "WAITS ON HIGH TO HAVE COMPASSION ON YOU".

GRACE - UNMERITED FAVOR - A GIFT WE CANNOT EARN, DERSERVE OR WIN!

THANK YOU FATHER FOR YOUR GRACE.
