What exactly is grace? It is something that is often desired, yet frequently misunderstood.
The unmerited favor of God, that’s what grace is. It is God giving us what we do not deserve.
Life can get ugly. We all face so many situations that threaten to overwhelm us. Sometimes the daily grind of dealing with the burdens of life becomes a weight that is unbearable. We are tempted to give up, walk away from it all, or even worse, end it all.
This is where grace enters the room.
God is not obligated to help us in any way, yet because He is loving and gracious, He does. This is grace, “unmerited favor.”
As we study the Bible, we see God giving grace in so many forms. For some, He gives strength, others healing, still others wisdom, patience, understanding, joy, peace…the list of the graces He gives is even greater than the list of needs.
In what area of life do you need grace? Don’t be afraid to call on God for help!
