TAKE A GRACE BREAK

Romans 5:17.....much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

We all enjoy taking a tea or coffee break and you may remember a while ago how the Lord encouraged us to take a 'Love Break' where we just draw aside for a few moments throughout our day and think about the fact God loves us so much and just receive His love and let it flow into us.

Recently I read the phrase "Take a Grace Break" and thought what a great concept that is as well. Our verse tells us to receive abundance of grace which implies that we have to do the receiving or not receiving! 

This is the time of year for giving and receiving gifts and here God is gifting us with His grace but we have to take it, receive it. 

Thankfully Grace is not a gift we have to earn or deserve, it's just the most wonderful gift God gives us. Jesus is Grace and we're reminded at Christmas that God has given us Jesus to receive, and I think we all probably would love to have all of God's grace and favour we can have. 

So in the coming days let's just take a Grace Break and stop for a minute throughout each day, open up our hands to the King of Kings, to the Prince of Peace, to the God Who Is With us - Emmanuel- to Jesus Himself, who is full of Grace and Truth and just receive all of the abundance of His grace and favour afresh whenever we need it.

Lord we reach out by faith and receive Your overflowing grace and the gift of your righteousness again today and thank You so much for them in Jesus' Name. Amen.
