The grace of the Lord---undeserved favor.it has been said that if grace were deserved then it isn't grace at all.
In this time of testings and hardships, of learning to trust in the Lord, the Lord is helping me understand what grace is. The availability of grace, and the amount that is available to us. And its sufficiency. And how dependent I am on that grace. And through WHOM that grace came from.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.John 1:17
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.2 Cor 12:9
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.Romans 5:17
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Heb 4:16
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.1 Tim. 1:14
But by the grace of God I am what I am 1 Cor. 15:10
And God is able to make all grace abound to you 2 Cor 9:8
Thank you for Your grace Lord Jesus! Where would I be without it Lord? In whatever circumstance, YOUR GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME Lord!

I wrote this in October 2005. During this time the Lord let me undergo discipline and purification in my personal life. The Lord was passing me through the fire to remove the impurities. I had been keeping an offense in my heart and the Lord dealt with it. And boy did the disciplining of the Lord hurt. The Lord was removing the impurities before He could tell me what He wanted me to do. Little did I know that on January 2006, the Lord would allow another trial (I got sick) to humble me, for me to learn to trust in the Lord and rely on His grace even more. I was healed completely by the end of October 2006!

Thank you for your comment, Liza. Your blog is a great blessing too, I remember I first visited your blog because of a post about Eliot Mooney, which I think my sister blogged about. My other sister( I have two sisters) had a daughter with a similar medical problem as Eliot's but her daughter only lived 1 1/2 hours. That post on Eliot was such a beautiful post, it reminded me so much about my niece.And the 99 balloons blog by the Mooneys was very touching. Thanks for blogging about them.
