THE GRACE EXPERIENCE! #3
There is one thing
that I’ve learned
as I have gotten older,I need God’s
grace! God’s grace has saved me
from a lot of
tragedies. I’ve been
saved from near
missed head on
collisions,
lightening strikes, fatal
falls, and house fires.
I have made terrible
decisions but
His grace and favor saved me! My
daily prayers
include requests for
His wisdom and grace.
This week I share
some scriptures
about grace. The biblical
meaning
of grace is the unmerited favor
of
God. The word grace is used more
than 140 times in the Bible.
Today’s I’ll share scriptures that
discuss some people
who found
grace in the sight of God.
