Grace of God

One of the definitions of Grace goes like this "the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God." How true it is..isnt it?.
The mere existence of us in this world is because of the grace of God. He has been graceful to extend our stay on this earth. When we think of the happenings of this world..all the evil, pain, disasters, etc..and for us to live in this world, it is a daunting task. Though our mind and intelligence are very capable and powerful in solving intellectual problems, though our mind can be compared to a super computer, though our brilliance is huge enough to invent some of the fascinating inventions of the scientific world...it becomes nothing when it comes with the problems of life.

Even the most intelligent person in the eyes of the world cannot escape the problems of life. If we think that we can live happily in this world if we have intelligence, skill, etc..then it is time that we change our thinking.

It is because of the grace of God that we are able to acheive many things in this world. God gives abundant grace to the extent that we take it for granted and forget Him. Even then God is so patient and compassionate with us.

One character that we should possess to inherit grace is humility. The Bible says in James 4:6 "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."Humility means accepting that we are nothing. Only when we are empty, we can be filled by the grace of God, and once we receive God's grace, then we will be so full and lack nothing. God's grace is available free. The only thing we need to do is to ask him for it and humble ourselves. The rest of the things God will take care. God bless you!.
