"You gave me life and showed me kindness,
and in your providence watched over my spirit."
~ Job 10:12 ~
and in your providence watched over my spirit."

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.

It is a fact that God is always by our sides calling us and welcoming us when we come. That is one aspect of what His free gift of grace brings us.

Mercy is not getting what we deserve, and grace is getting what we don't deserve. I am so grateful for God's grace and mercy in my life.
