I listened to a Christian couple telling there story, it centered around the death of their young daughter, who ate bread with a sesame seed in it, unfortunately she suffered from an allergy,the result was she died.As you can imagine this devastated the couple,they had all sorts of feeling, the wife had anger towards her husband, and deep feelings of guilt.Yes to say the least they were two troubled hurting individuals. but something wonderful happen. They spoke of going to church,and how that helped,but the wife said something very lovely, she spoke of .'The GRACE OF GOD WASHING OVER ME'. that brought a change for the better. The question we could ask , what is the grace of God ?,well it is God extending favour, unmerited favour in relation to salvation, there is nothing any of us can do to save ourselves,so it takes God to extend His divine favour to us,when by faith we trust as Jesus as our Saviour. But it carries on into our Christian life,take the apostle Paul who suffered from a severe physical affliction.God was not going to heal him,but He told him that His grace would be sufficient for him , what did that mean .?A dear friend of mine said this,it is''The attributes of God working on the behalf of the believer,are made available for the believers use''. In other words all God's resources would be available for Paul, and for you and for me .
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
Words John Newton
