“Grace” is God’s gift of His loving favor extended to those He saves. It works like this: You can’t earn grace. And you cannot save yourself. Only God can save you. The only way for you to receive this gift of God’s grace is by faith in Jesus Christ.
There was a time when I tried to be the captain of my own life. But God, in His great grace, stepped in, intervened, and took control. To this day, every time I look back on the path my life has taken, I see the goodness God had in mind as He worked out what was best for me.
It’s an understatement to say that the Christian life is not easy. In fact, you could say that it is impossible. You will experience weaknesses, insults, distresses, persecution, and difficulties (2 Corinthians 12:10). But take cheer! God promises that when you allow His grace to control you in your difficulties, He will give you a strength that will empower you through the myriad of problems that will come your way. God has — and will — continue to do His part. Praise Him for His marvelous G-R-A-C-E!
G-Give thanks to God that you are under grace and not the law.
R-Respond in love and obedience to the gift of God’s grace.
A-Ask God for wisdom to understand what His grace should mean in your life.
C-Commune with other believers in a Bible-teaching church where you can receive training in the ways of God’s grace.
E-Extend God’s grace to others by sharing the Gospel, showing forgiveness, and shouldering their burdens.

When something difficult happens in your life, are you ever tempted to ask, “What good could come out of this?” The event looks like a disaster. It feels like a disaster. Therefore, we quickly conclude, it is a disaster! But God did not forget His people who were suffering in Babylon. And, my friend, He won’t forget you!
Too many times in the past I’ve told others “I’m fine” in order to hide my pain and sorrows from them. The truth is, my thoughts pulled me down so far that, in private, tears regularly streamed down my face. Are you constantly thinking negative thoughts? Being a woman after God’s own heart is all about “minding your mind.”
As a young mother, I endeavored to “train a child in the way he should go,” so that “when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). A decade later, however, I wasn’t reaping the results I had expected. Angrily, I said to God, “But this isn’t the way it was supposed to be! This isn’t the way it went for this family here or that family over there. And this isn’t the way it was supposed to be for my family!”
