Happy Easter,
Got a great text message that sums up the expectation of Easter from a friend: "Its Friday, but Sundays coming". Easter has being a good time for me. In retrospect, I have missed the message of grace over the last few weeks. Often seeing the process of santification as me orientiated, not God orientiated. A good friend gave a great definition of grace on Good Friday. In his characteristically blunt manner he said: "it means you dont have to do nothing". I have on many occassions forgotten the line from the hymn amazing grace that goes: "’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home". Many times, I have relegated grace to my salvation, but have forgotten that grace is not only needed for the start of the christian journey, but for all of it. Where do I go from this revelation?
"Grace so amzing, so divine, deserves my soul, my life, my all".
