“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. .” 1 Tim 1:14
It’s not about what’s been done to you, but what’s being done in you that should be our focus. Paul first approached God seeking answers to the affliction being done to him by his thorn in the flesh, God wanted him to focus rather on what was being done in him by his grace. It’s grace that gets you past the burden of affliction and into the bountiful abundance God has for you. It’s not leniency towards our sin, it’s the empowering gift of God to overcome our weakness of spirit that leads to sin; Grace is power not a pardon. It not only saves you from this world, but it empowers you through it. Make sure you don’t simply declare it be sure you demonstrate it as well.
Grace is God picking you up where you are and taking you where you need to be.
