Discovering Who I Am

Archive for April, 2007

• Grace is the quality of undeserved and unmerited favor
• Mercy creates a new opportunity –Grace seizes the opportunity and makes the most of it
• Where the spirit of grace is, the heart is set free
• Grace is God’s riches at Christ’s expense
• Grace is free and spontaneous willingness to bestow
• Grace is not a reciprocal response, not a favor earned or returned. It is proactive, not reactive
• Grace will never leave you in the condition it finds you
• We are repositioned in life by grace
• All God has brought to mankind comes to us as grace, by grace
• Like water, grace fills every nook and cranny of the vessel in which it is poured, and, like water, we must drink of grace; it must be received as a gift
• God does not send man to hell. Man sends himself to hell by rejecting God’s grace

Today is Jennifer’s 34th birthday. She is my greatest earthly treasure. I am such a blessed man to have a wife who loves God, pursues Truth, exudes beauty, graces our home and family in every way and gifts me with her love every day. I know I would not have achieved a fraction of what I have been blessed to be a part of in this life if it weren’t for God giving me a wife who shares my passion for greater purpose and who looks beyond the trappings of this world to the things of eternal value. I bless her today and for this coming year. May she realize her greater vision and purpose this year. May God bless her and keep her. May He make His face to shine upon her. May He lift up His countenance upon her and give her peace.
