Grace

The grace of God is amazing! Amongst many things, it teaches us to say “no,” as it forms us into people who do good, people who follow Jesus–the one who reveals the face of grace.

The grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,  while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

—Titus 2:11-14

As recipients of grace, we must be purveyors of grace. This means loving all people all the time.

Lord, help me.
