“Justice is getting what you deserve; mercy is not getting what you deserve; grace is getting what you do not deserve.” Stuart Briscoe more on grace... We get really uneasy about receiving something we didn’t earn and that we can’t possibly justify. We don’t like anyone having something on us. We don’t like owing anyone. But we will never, ever, EVER, be able to show God that His grace was well spent on us. There will always be a deficit. Grace will always be just that: God’s unearned favor shown to us in the most remarkable way possible. What is the right response? Praise. Worship. Obedience. Love. Joy. Thankfulness. All of these are right responses to grace. But the truth is that only you really know. Because the best response to God’s grace is a life given over to Him. And only you can judge how much of you is His. Why don’t you consider that question today and tomorrow? Why don’t you try and come up with what you think are some right responses to God’s showering you with His saving grace.
