GRACE

Hebrews 13:25 (NKJV) 25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
  The unmerited favor of God, or the word we refer to as blessings is so much more than our desire to know, God has given us attention. The murder who sits on death row, receiving a life sentence instead of death, cries God has blessed me, the victims cry where is Gods mercy, how are these circumstance to be viewed?
   John 1:17... but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ, the evidence that Jesus forgives the most wretched of us, is enough to know Grace is provided to any and everyone who breathes. Why then the disparity between who receives Grace and who does not? The obvious is perception, we do not know what God knows and we do not see how He sees, yet His blessings are for the "good" and the "bad".
   Romans 3:12 ... There is none who does good, no, not one," we are all under a curse and it is God who knows all too well where we stand, I know Gods grace but I do not deserve it, He sent His only Son to make a way for me and for you. Trust Him with every ounce of your being today, that babe in the manger grew up to be that King on the Throne, He alone is Grace.
Heavenly Father we celebrate in this season the birth of your Son, help us to remember it is His death that made the way to your Eternity. It is His life that gives us life, in You alone we live or die, may our every breath remind us we are yours. Amen
