God's Grace

I am sure that as a minister's wife you know your salvation is a grace gift. You probably have the scripture in Ephesians 2:8 memorized. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast."

I wonder if you are aware that God's grace is also available for your service to Him? In the middle of every challenge and difficult circumstance God gifts us with what we need to be bold, love and have self discipline.

Jesus continually taught the disciples the importance of loving those He came to save. Each person matters to our God and we have the privilege allowing Him to love them through us. In fact, we fall in love with our God and prove our love to our God as we love those He places in our lives. Not always easy, but always, worth it!

As those difficult people show up in your day, remember they need God's grace. You are the vessel that can show that grace. Are you thinking, it is too hard? Maybe, I haven't met that person that continues to criticize you or trip you up.

Remember what we are taught in II Corinthians 12:9-10 "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in your weakness."
Look for ways to show God's grace to those around you today.
