God of all grace ( 1 Peter 5 v 10)

''and be gracious to you' (Numbers 6 v 25 ) Why would, or even why should God be gracious to any of us, and that includes  Israel.?The answer love ,consider what God said to Israel in Deuteronomy 7 v 7 -8 ,'The Lord did not set His affection on and choose you because you were more numerous than other people,  for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you'Nor was it because of their righteousness or integrity ( Deut 9 v 4 - 5 ), as with Israel of old ,so it is with  all who receive Gods kindness .Recently I have been thinking what our dear Saviour said,'when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, we are unworthy servants,we have only done our duty' ( Luke 17 v 10 ) It reminds us that it is all about grace,grace, grace, and more grace from the God of all grace..  ( 1 Peter 5 v 10 )                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Amazing grace.
