Grace ~ Power

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~ Romans 8:38-39

Grace - Being Free

By night when others soundly slept
and hath at once both ease and rest,
My walking eyes were open kept
and so to lie I found it best.

I sought him whom my Soul did Love,
with tears I sought him earnestly.
He bow'd his ear down from above.
In vain I did not seek or cry.

My hungry Soul he fill'd with Good;
He in his Bottle put my tears,
My smarting wounds washt in his blood,
and banisht thence my Doubts and fears.

What to my Saviour shall I give
Who freely hath done this for me?
I'll serve him here whilst I shall live
and Love him to Eternity.

Grace - God's Gift

God's gift to us of grace through his Son, Jesus was the first gift of Christmas.

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.  On coming to the house, they
saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.
Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of
incense and of myrrh.

~Matthew 2:10-11

Grace ~ The Perfect Gift

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting
shadows.  He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that
we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
~James 1:17

Grace ~ The Gift

For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's
grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow
to the many!

~Romans 5:15
