Grace, Your Reminder of Him.

Every reminder of Him.  Is grace.  Every situation.  Every trial.  Every moment of chaos, of peace, of joy, of anguish, of despair.  That causes you to lift your eyes up, to Him.  Every reminder.  It is grace.  It is.

No matter the emotions.

Debilitating or energizing.  Painful or exciting.  Dreadful or delightful.  Hard or easy.  But do you see Christ?  Through the pain, in the peace, from the joy, do you see Christ?  Despite the anguish, because of the despair, do you see Christ?  

Because seeing Christ is life.  And that breath of life is grace, grace given from the hand of God.

All grace.  All purposed.  For you to see Him.

Because He longs for you to see Him.  Grace. Because He longs for you to know Him, so He made a way.  Grace. 

And receiving grace becomes about stopping and listening, all the time.  Grace that washes and gives life and softens and refreshes can only be received when you are still to listen.  In everything.  For Him.

Grace, full of power.  Unmerited.  Undeserved.  Grace.

It’s about the listening to the rain falling, to His grace falling.  Unmerited.  Undeserving.  Rain that washes and gives life and softens and refreshes.  God's grace pouring down.  Again and again.  To sit and to listen to grace falling, is to look up and receive grace, the very power of God.

And the rain keeps pouring down.  The lightning flashes.  Grace.  Power.  Again and again.  God, Who is for you, pours down grace for you, for you to know His great power, in every situation and everything that causes you to look up.

Because every reminder of Him is grace.
