It is the lavishing of his love.
It is reconciling us with himself.
It is the bestowing of the Spirit.
It is the giving of gifts.
It is the protection of the armor.
It is the hope of His coming.
it is the preparation of a mansion.
It is the wiping away of our tears.
It is the deliverance from evil.
It is making a way in temptation.
It is the provision of our daily bread.
It is the forgiveness of sin.
It is the world overcome.
It is the defeat of satan.
It is the compassion for the down trodden.
It is the father to the fatherless.
It is the sanctifying of our souls.
It is the the way, truth, and life.
It is the healing of our infirmities.
It is the answers to our prayers.
It is the community of believers.
It is the encouragement of the saints.
It is the bearing of our burdens.
It is the ransom of His Son!
If God is rich in Mercy, its wealth pales in comparison to his Grace. He withholds one thing and delivers so much more. He displays his grace daily, and we are as undeserving. We are sinful and faithless; proud and ungrateful; obnoxious and uncaring; oblivious and unconcerned. Daily we struggle to remain on the straight and narrow path, and daily God displays his grace.
The scripture says that all good gifts come from the Father and that in trials he works them for good, for our sake and his glory. These, and much more, are the daily graces we receive. When we count our blessings we are brought back into focus for the wonderful relationship we have in Christ.
We were saved by his grace, we are being saved by his grace, we will be saved by his unmerited favor. I'm just saying...
