GRACE

“The Maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you.”  This comment made by Max Lucado, jumped out at me as I was reading his devotional Grace for the Moment.  Read this again, think about it, absorb it, make it personal:  “The Maker of the stars would rather die for me than live without me!”

 Wow!  This boggles my mind, brings tears to my eyes, a lump to my throat.  How can anyone refuse this love?  How could I have ignored this for so long?  So I have trials, so I feel alone at times, so I can’t do all the things I used to do.  I do live in this world of sin, and hurt, and death.  But Jesus loves me!  He has made a way for me to spend eternity with Him as a princess, a joint heir with Christ my Savior.  Man is born unto trials as the sparks fly upward, but Jesus is walking with me, through the fire, through the flood, and all the way to Glory.  He who made the stars loves me and provided the way for me to live with Him!  This is Grace!
