The Grace-given, Give Grace


MaxLucado.com

The grace-given—give grace! Is grace happening to you? Is there anyone in your life you refuse to forgive? If so, do you appreciate God’s forgiveness toward you? Do you resent God’s kindness to others? Do you grumble at God’s uneven compensation? How long has it been since your generosity stunned someone?

Since someone objected, “No, really, this is too generous?” If it’s been awhile reconsider God’s extravagant grace. Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity.” Let grace unscrooge your heart. Like Peter encourages us in 2 Peter 3:18 to “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eye-popping, big-heartedness happens! You simply can’t contain it all. Let it bubble over. Let it spill out. Let it pour forth.
