Folks often wonder why Grace would make a difference in a persons life. All too often, we judge, we condemn, we gossip, and we discourage everything we don't agree with. Things that make us stretch outside of our comfort zone because we really don't know how to react.
Grace doesn't fear. It doesn't judge, it doesn't condemn. Instead, Grace allows wisdom to speak and to question; to determine the best response. One that will respect humanity while protecting honor and integrity.
"Sometimes life is just hard." (From the movie, Remember the Titans.) But then, Grace comes in like a flood and changes everything!
I Asked
I asked God for strength,
That I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey…
I asked for health,
That I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity,
That I might do better things…..
I asked for riches,
That I might be happy.
I was given poverty,
That I might be wise….
I asked for all things,
That I might enjoy life.
I was given life,
That I might enjoy all things….
I got nothing I asked for----
But everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken
Prayers were answered.
I am among all,
Most richly blessed!
