Grace must be exercised. We are told we must be ministers of Grace, yet it is one of the most difficult areas for many Christians. The beginning of the exercising of Grace takes place when the believer obeys the Lord by returning good for evil. Many families think it is normal to sling insults back when insulted. It can also be common practice to give the silent treatment, or to withhold affection, in order to even the score. Soldier of The Cross, graciousness begins at home, and so does the ministry of Grace. He who can be trusted in little can be trusted in much. We were saved by Grace. We deserved nothing. We are sustained by Grace. Grace works by Love. There is no other power that releases Heaven's salve. |
