Why aren't we able to receive grace with gratitude? I believe it's because we think we are actually doing life on our own, getting it done and being successful. We have become desensitized to grace. We are the child being hoisted up to see the show and thinking we have grown 10 feet tall, forgetting the very shoulders we sit on. To put it plainly, we're ridiculous.
Grace is invisible and intangible, seemingly, but its the most real force in our lives today. Do you know that we even need grace to understand the Word of God. This is the time of grace. Though I don't believe God is happy about the fallen state of man, I can't help but to believe that He enjoys this time of grace. In this age, He can shower us with His affection and unmerited favor. he has reserved our generation for such a time as this. For such a time when, like milk and honey, His grace is ever-flowing.
I know the Father loves to be good to us. Some ask, why doesn't Jesus just come back right now? He's enjoying being good to you. He's enjoying being the hand you grab, the shoulder you lean on, the gift you've always wanted. He loves to see that wonderful smile on your face. He can't help but to be good to His children. It's God's nature to be good, kind, and extravagantly generous.
You might be thinking, well my life is hard right now. My body needs healing. I just got divorced. My child was taken away from me. I'm lost and lonely. I'm angry with my life and with God right now. Where is my grace? Does my situation please God? And the answer is, Yes!! It is the grace of God that allows us to keep going another day. It is His unmerited favor that, even while hurting, we're healing. He enjoys comforting us. He loves to be our best friend, our pillow we lay on, our warm blanket for a soft landing.
Don't get it confused about why we have trouble - this is a fallen world - no doubt. But we have a risen Savior.
Let Him be good to you. Recognize Him and acknowledge His presence in your life. Thank Him for His grace.
