Day 356

I am grateful for grace.

Mercy is not receiving something bad that I deserve. Grace is receiving something good that I do not deserve. I feel like I'll be blown away by all the bad things I was spared and totaled by all the good things from a good God.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
T'was grace that brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me Home.

When we've been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we've first begun  

My mom would sing this around the house, and it was like spilling a blessing everywhere she walked. It felt as if angels listened with joy and an inability to relate, not being fallen creatures like us. The grace I experience every single day fills me with joy, praise, and humility.

Thank You, Lord, for Your amazing grace.
