I've always heard grace defined as being given something we don't deserve. But another common definition of grace is, "elegance or beauty of form... or action." In Ephesians 3:2, Paul writes that he was given the responsibility of showing God's grace to the Gentiles - those who were not Jews. As I got to thinking about this it hit me that God's grace to us (the Gentiles) was not just a gift we don't deserve, although that is the biggest part of it. Truly, isn't grace something of indescribable beauty to those who have been lost to death, and now are alive in Christ? An elegance of action, filled with love and a cherishing of those it's extended to?
Oh dear sister, do you question God's love for you? You know in your head, but your heart might say otherwise... Consider His grace - a gift we cannot deserve, but it's given anyway - and know, without a single sliver of doubt. He is madly, crazy in love with you!
