#31Days: Grace Like Rain

Well, yesterday I didn't post.
It was raining and the Internet was out.
So sorry.

But there is grace.
{Grace is especially the divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in our lives - gratitude; thank you, e-word. Honestly, every breath is grace.}
For those of us who are in Christ, endless amounts of it.
Thanks be to God because I get it very sorely wrong and leave most tasks unfinished day-in and day-out.
Friends, let His grace rain down on you.
So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
Romans 11:5-6

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think that Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why the Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. James 4:4-6

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10

"No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are." Acts 15:11

Some nights you just gotta let Scripture do the talking.
I know that somebody out there is like me.
Never gets it all done.
House is a mess.
Frustrates friends because you don't spend enough any time with them.
Cannot keep up with life.

Friends, there is grace. I choose to rest in it tonight.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 1 Thessalonians 5:28
