Petals from the Basket

Lavishing Grace!

Don’t you just love this thought:

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us” (Ephesians 1:7–8, NIV).

As if the thought that we—and we each know what we’re really like down deep!—have redemption through His blood isn’t enough to just plain knock our socks off, that expression, “that He lavished on us,” is probably one of the best descriptions in all of word-dom!

Doesn’t that just conjure up the mental picture of grace upon grace upon grace upon…! We don’t earn it. It’s just this unfounded, incomparable, beyond-generous grace that He lavishes on us!

Best word ever!

Carry that thought today: you are, at every moment, being “bestowed profusely” (Merriam-Webster) with His grace!

What possible sin can that grace not redeem?

What possible sincere need can that grace not supply?

What possible problem can that grace not handle?
