Amazing Grace

God's Amazing Grace

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

God's Grace

Yes, it is truly amazing! We don't deserve it, and there is nothing
on this earth that we can do in order to be deserving of His grace.
Yet, God's grace is freely offered to all of us, regardless of what
we have done or where we have been. God's gift of grace... it's His
free gift to us; the price has already been paid. Our debt has been
cancelled and paid in full. God's wonderful gift of grace, the gift
of salvation through His son Jesus Christ, is the best gift of all!

Grace... Grace... God's Grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

His marvelous grace really is greater than all our sin! That
covers a lot, huh? Our debt has already been paid, and if we
accept His gift of grace by asking for forgiveness of sin and
by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, then we shall receive
the gift of salvation and eternal life. If you have not already
claimed this gift, I pray that God will place a burden on your
heart to receive Him now. Just as you are right now, He loves
you and wants you to be a part of His family.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

A Poem of God's Grace

"The Blessing of a Storm"

by Wendy Greiner Lefko

I did not know His love before,
The way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
My pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
The "Self-sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
Not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
The storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
I found I had no hold.

The ship that I had built myself
Was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
With nowhere else to hide
I had no strength or faith to face
The trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply spoke His name
And bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
And then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm,
But I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
Or when I'd smile again.

Yet through the pain and endless tears,
My faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
But my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in a brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone could
Jesus' love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered why.
At times I thought, "I can’t go on."
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But Jesus never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
Through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.

And now I see as ne'er before
How great His love can be,
How in my weakness He is strong,
How Jesus cares for me!
He worked it all out for my good,
Although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
And then He said, "Enough!"

He raised His hand and said, "Be still!"
He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
And flooded me with peace.
I saw His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong,
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

And now I know more storms will come,
But only for my good,
For pain and tears have helped me grow
As nothing ever could.
I still have so much more to learn
As Jesus works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
That's where I want to be!
