Hebrews 4:16
New King James Version (NKJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
I was drinking a cup of coffee this morning, and a recent memory popped into my mind. And this scripture came flooding into my thoughts. There is a simple fact that is true for everyone of us. It doesn't matter if a person is a new christian or someone is a veteran of faith, there is something that will always hold true.
God shows us mercy and grace everyday of our lives. It began at the cross of Calvary and it is repeatedly given everyday. Now, this is for everyone; because no matter how "good" of a person we are, there will be days that we, in our own human nature we will NEED mercy and grace.
But the amazing part of this is, that God always has a fresh supply and it never runs out. We will never find ourselves in need and God not have it to give. He is definitely a "well that will never run dry" for all areas of our life; but we must remember that there is always purpose in what God gives us. And that in turn requires something on our part.
To be thankful, and we should be, for this amazing gift of a fresh start everyday, is one thing. But it doesn't stop there. God daily gives us a fresh supply of grace and mercy, not just for ourselves, but so that we will have a fresh supply to GIVE out to others.
He wants us to come confidently to Him and ask of the things that we need and He will grant that and so much more aside of the measure of mercy and grace that He gives; but it is definitely for a purpose. Many people will cross your path day by day and week by week. And there WILL repeatedly be an opportunity to extend grace and mercy to someone else.
It doesn't matter if you feel that what God has for you to do in the Kingdom is something big or not; and I tell you that the biggest thing that you can do for the Kingdom of God is to display Christ and His teachings to all that you come in contact with, beginning with your family. Everyone needs to know that God is a God of love. And Christ came and showed us to build each other up through love, and that grace and mercy are the building blocks of who we are supposed to be.
I challenge you, to look for opportunities in your daily life to show grace and mercy. It not only helps them, but changes us and refines us into the people the Christ taught us to be.
Have a wonderful day friends, In Jesus Name.
