Generously Gracious God

                With the many problems that beset our lives, we usually wonder, “when will the odds be ever be in our favor?”  More often than not, we think the entire mountain is our hurdle when in fact it is just the small rocks that make us stumble along the way. We end up sulking, frustrating, worrying, and even doubting and questioning if God is still on our side.  We think of ourselves as losers.  Truth of the matter is, despite the adversities we are having, the grace of God, as always, abounds.

                Our trials sometimes hinder us to see the grace that God provides. Even waking up each morning is looked upon as a curse rather than a blessing because we are clouded by our weaknesses and our distrustful hearts. But the good news is always there, and that is: God’s grace is sufficient for all of us and that He always loves to take over our weaknesses. When we are weakest, the power of God is strongest and that is also the time when we learn to trust God wholeheartedly, as we likewise learn to humble ourselves.

                Humans are not invincible, nor are we immortals. And by acknowledging our limitations, all the more we will start experiencing grace upon admitting that there are always things in life beyond our control. By then, it will suddenly dawn on us how God’s grace certainly abounds, and with the ability to look at life with light despite the bleakness is already His  way of showing us that He is taking over our lives. So what should we do then? With a Generously Gracious God, we can just let it all happen and relax in His unfailing love.

                Slowly but surely, the moment we start to realize how God’s grace has been lifting us up, we learn to believe that everything is a blessing and everything happens for a reason.  That reason we may not understand now, but someday soon, we will.  Grace is the very heart of God and that is more than enough for us to run the race.  

                Thus,  when you feel that you are failing: let Christ take over, believe that you are always blessed, and you will see that you are always a winner because you have a God who is higher than any other.
