Jesus said in Matthew 3:15 to John the Baptist, “It must be done because we must do everything that is right” (NLT). Do I do everything that is right in my life? Do I stand up for right? Do I always defend the fatherless and the widow? Do I always turn the other cheek? I wish I could say yes to all of these questions but I can’t. I blow it many times a day. The good news is that God’s is “gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love” Exodus 34:6 NIV. He is “drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes. If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.” (from the song How He Loves by David Crowder Band) God’s grace is so vast, it covers up every bad thing we have ever done or are going to do. We drown in his grace, become a new person, and our old self falls away.
I’m so thankful for God’s grace. When we mess up, he’s there to clean up the mess. When we fall, he’s there to pick up the pieces. He turns things around and uses them for his glory in our lives when we repent and turn from our sins. Thank you, Lord, for your amazing grace. Drown us all, Lord! Your grace is amazing!
