VICTIM OF GRACE

                                                                    
                                               


"You are not  a 
victim of circumstances. You are
a
Victim of  
Grace."
 
Robin Jones Gunn










 


 

 
 


 
Why does this keep happening to me?
It's not fair.
I never asked to be treated this way.
I did nothing to deserve this.
And yet
Every moment of every day,
Completely unprovoked,
God pours out His love on me.
He blesses me in unexpected ways.
His mercies are new every morning.
No matter what I do I cannot stop Him.
Even in the worst situations
His goodness prevails.
He is relentless.
I am a victim of grace.
       - From "Victim of Grace" by Robin Jones Gunn
Why is it so easy to see the bad things in life but so hard to see the graces?

Grace, for me, is nothing more than undeserved kindness. In spite of our daily trials and struggles--no, in the midst of them--we look for eyes to see.

May you behold God's undeserved kindness in your life this week.

P.S. No Monday night this coming week. We will see you on Monday, March 4th for a pot luck Meal and Message based on Eph. 6:10-18, "Wake Up! Armor Up!"
