Grace Comes After Us by Max Lucado

 
 

The wasted years of life.  The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word:  Grace!

Grace. We know the word. The bank gives us a grace period.  The seedy politician falls from grace.  Grace shares the church parsonage with its cousins: forgiveness, faith, and fellowship. But do we really understand it? We’ve settled for wimpy grace.  It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn and fits nicely on a church sign.

Have you been changed by grace?  Shaped by grace?  Strengthened by grace?  Softened by grace? God’s grace has a drenching about it.  A wildness about it. Grace comes after you.  From insecure to God secure. From afraid-to-die to ready-to-fly. Grace is the word that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off!
