Amazing Grace

"Well the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about"
-Brandon Heath "I'm Not Who I Was"

These words have just stuck with me the last couple days. Something I definitely need to be better about is giving grace out to those who hurt me. We are to try and to become more Christ like and he shows grace on everyone, no matter what they have done, no matter if they believe in him or not. How mind blowing is that. Even the people who speak out against him are shown the amazing grace of Jesus every breath they take. That is such an incredible revelation and yet I find it so hard to extend grace and mercy sometimes to the people who I love. The lyrics to this song are so awesome, they really struck me hard. We are giving chances to give out amazing grace. God is letting us take a part in his purpose, in his plan. He is using us, he doesn't need us, but he uses us. The instances where we can show his amazing grace to others are a gift from God, a platform to show His love, grace and mercy. He is extending us a part in his masterpiece, and when I look at it this way, why would I ever turn down an opportunity to be a part of His plan. And yet I do when I let pride take over, and boy do I let pride take over sometimes. Anyways, just thinking and so amazed at the way God moves and works in our lives!

Hope everyone is having a good day so far! Love you all!
