After around 2,000 years, after the Fall in the Garden of Eden, there is a turn of grace by God by His calling of Abram. God’s grace is not only given TO Abram it is given THROUGH Abram. Through Abram and his offspring, ALL nations/people will be blessed. And they were and we are.
But we tend to get caught up in celebrating OUR being blessed without sharing God’s grace. There is plenty of grace to go around. It is our nature to turn in on ourselves, celebrate what we have, and not want to or forget to share it.
God’s grace is NOT JUST FOR YOU. It’s for ALL PEOPLE. He repeatedly returns to us in grace, and He repeatedly turns us in grace toward others.
How’s that going for you? Turning in grace toward others? How is God turning you in grace toward others in YOUR life?
How might God work through you to be a blessing to others in little or even big ways? Possibly there are things in your life you would like to turn AWAY from? How’s that going for you? What are things you would like to turn towards in your life?
Turning towards God’s grace and sharing it with others is God’s desire for you.
