"You gave me life
and showed me kindness,
and in your providence watched over my spirit."
Job 10:12
No
matter what we are doing in life, no matter how far we have strayed from God,
He is always looking for a way to bring us home to Himself.
One
of the best things about the characters we read about throughout Scripture is
that they are real people, just like you and me. Peter had a temper and
denied Christ three times. Hew was rescued by God's grace and worked
spreading the gospel message until his death. Kind David committed
adultery and murder and yet was rescued by god's grace. we have the
Psalms from him which speak to our needs, and moods and invites us to taste and
see that the Lord is good. The parable of the Prodigal Son shows us a picture
of a forgiving and loving God who doesn't wait for us, rather, He runs out
to meet us!
God's
grace seeks us out. If you don't know about this wonderful grace, open
the pages of your Bible. Start with the gospel of John and learn who
Jesus is. Read the Psalms. God's grace is always there, seeking you
to return home to Him.

Matt Redmond sings "Your Grace Finds Me"
When I first learned that grace is freely given. What an amazing concept for a woman to ponder who was always taught that one must earn grace by good works. That idea of earning grace is very dauntiing considering our human nature. It is good to know that God's grace seeks us out.
