As I was visualizing the grace of God
overflowing on me I thought of fountains that people have on their desks or end
tables.
A pump recycles water from the pool at
the bottom, back up, and the water runs down over the little rocks and sculptures
to the pool and then back up again. Next I picture a river.
The water is crystal clear and the river
rocks that sit in the bed are washed gently over and over with a never ending
massage from the running water.
This seems like the grace of our Lord to
me. We are rough and ragged when we come to Jesus. His grace “flows” over
us, never ending. It smooths out the rough edges and the ragged broken
parts until we are smooth and soft. When we have been infused with God’s
grace, his love fills; faith is strengthened.
Let the grace of our Lord pour out over
you in abundance today. Take a moment and allow the gentle massage of his love
and grace to renew and soothe you. Let it soften the rough edges and
then, in faith, go out and allow his grace and love to flow from you to those
around you.
Lord,
Without
water we would die and without your grace we would die. The sacrifice of Jesus
was the greatest act of love. Let the sounds of water remind me that your
grace is here. Let this world receive your grace in abundance today
and then let us praise you eternally!
Amen.
