My Saving Grace


May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God
and Jesus our Lord. (2 Peter 1:2 NLT)
 
I've still got a lot to learn
But, at least I know where I can turn
When I'm in my times of need
Just as long as I believe
 
I've loved a lot, hurt a lot
Been burned a lot in my life and times
Spent precious years wrapped up in fear
With no end in sight
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free
 
Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you
 
 
These are the lyrics to Mariah Carey's "My Saving Grace" beautiful and inspirational song. 
I was riding in my car this week when this came on the radio. I had almost forgot how moving 
the song was. Thinking about Gods grace took me right into worship. As I grow in my 
relationship with Christ I become more aware of his grace at work in my life. It doesn't take 
long for me to have a flashback... 
When fear attempted to stall me, his grace gave me hope to believe.  
When the enemy tried to keep me entagled in the bondage of sin, his grace set me free.
When my hectic workload increases my stress levels , his grace gives me peace to calm the 
storm. 
When I suffered tremendous loss, his grace gave me strength to carry on and finish strong.
When I put myself in dangerous situations because of bad judgement, his grace kept me in the 
safety of his arms.


Indeed our saving grace is found in God and God alone. As you grow in your relationship
with God I pray you discover his grace at work in your life...past, present and future.
