Those of us who have been Christians a long time sometimes forget that we have no claim or right to the grace we have received. God offered his grace freely to all people who are willing to call on Jesus as LORD and Savior, then live for him wholeheartedly (
Titus 2:11;
Acts 2:21,
41,
16:22;
Romans 10:13). When we feel we deserve our place in
"God's household", that it is ours by right, we are no longer living under grace. To be a part of God's family is a gift of grace. The Holy One who spoke into existence the universe - and we are a submicroscopic speck in comparison - has given us grace to be in his family. Being part of God's people, God's household, is simply and magnificently a gift from the One who knows how to share grace and love in ways we can't even imagine.
For the incredible and boundless love you have given to me and your other children, O God, we fall to our knees and thank you. Your power is beyond my comprehension. Your awesome holiness is beyond our understanding. Yet your infinite grace is ours because of your costly love and boundless grace. Thank you. A million times over I say it, "Thank you!" In the name of Jesus, my Lord. Amen.
