Overwhelmed?

 

Good news from Psalm 65:3 --

   "When we were overwhelmed by sin, You forgave our transgressions."

What an incredible picture! We were overwhelmed -- He stepped in and fixed it all!

Ever feel overwhelmed by sin? By disappointment? By grief? By fear? 

He can fix it all.

And it's all because He loves us and extends His grace to us, His beloved children. And He is eager to do that for us!

His grace -- it's all about His grace!

So how should we then live? How should we extend to others the grace He has extended to us?

"Lord, because Your grace is undeserved, I should be humble.

Because it is given to me unconditionally, I should be thankful.

Because it is freely given to me, I should extend it generously to others in all circumstances.

Because it is given to me forever, I should be at peace.

And because it is from You I should live in holiness and reflect your beauty and Your glory.

Please help me, everyday, to be to others as You have been to me.

Amen"

Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you and therefore He rises up  to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of  justice, blessed are all those who wait for Him. (Isaiah 30:18).
