Grace

To many Martha Stewart is the poster person for grace.  When I see her I think of the women I have known that I think as full of grace. I am fascinated by GRACE.  There are many definitions of the word.  Webster dictionary defines Grace as a noun, meaning a charming or attractive trait or characteristic.  In Christian theology, grace has been defined as "the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it".  I think both are true meanings and really walk hand and hand.  I want grace, I want to show grace and also I am so thankful for the grace God has given me. Technically Grace is a noun but Grace is also active. And because it is, you and I are able to live productive lives which have eternal significance. Often we think of grace as merely doctrine that explains our salvation, something which occurred in the past. But grace is power in action. Oh, if we could only get this truth into our heads and then into our daily lives, what passion it would bring to our service to Him and for Him and how much more charming or attractive we would be in to others.
