Justified by Grace – Lectio Divina

October 27, 2013 By Jean Wise

“For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.

Romans 3: 23, 28

Grace.
Unmerited love.
Unearned mercy.
All God in all of his being.
None of my doing.
How can I ever thank you, Lord for loving me so unconditionally?
Your forgiveness expands to fill the universe and heals the holes in my heart.
What a glorious gift.
The gift of grace.
The gift of Christ.

The gift of your presence.

Your grace rains down upon my dry parched soul and gives me life.
Thank you sweet Papa.

    I am learning more and more how little all my doing and worrying matter and more and more to rely on His mercy and grace. Thanks for stopping by Pamela

    If nothing I can do can take His sweet unmerited favor from me, nothing I can do to earn it. I can just enjoy His love and Presence. How can I be anything less than grateful for who He is and want to be more like Him.

    “None of my doing.” So true. He gives so much and all undeserved. I echo your “Thank you sweet Papa.”
