"There but for the grace of God, go I" this quote was said by a guy (I can't remember his name) from the 1600's, who had seen prisoners being led to their punishment, some death. It kind of boils down to, "I might have suffered a similar fate, but for Gods mercy!!! How true!! So very true for each of us! God's grace & mercy is so real for us all. He offers it daily to each of us. And if it wasn't for His grace, I knowi would be right where a lot of people are, caught up in my own self, lost in sin, ignorance, bitter, addicted to many things not worthy of my time, but b/c of God's grace & His mercy, I am not!! And this has absolutely nothing to do w/ me & absolutely everything to do w/ Him!! With His great love for me--for you!! So let's remember God's grace today-let's take it, embrace it, & be thankful for it. Instead of looking down on others, let's offer His grace, so generously, to everyone around us, all those we come in contact with today, always knowing the back ground of our story, & how God gave us His grace, & remembering, everyone's got their own!! 1Cor 15:10-(The Message) But b/c God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I'm not about to let his grace go to waste....
