I think grace is a beautiful thing. Its even a beautiful word to stay; it roles of the tongue. But what is grace? Grace is an undeserving accepting love giving to us by God. Its God Righteousness At Christ Expense. When I think of grace I think of love and acceptance; of giving people the benefit. But I also think of someone who has a gentle spirit; a women who has a quiet voice, has the touch of a feather and the peace of a dove.
I am not, according to the latter idea, a gentle person. I am more like a bull in a china shop. I am loud and clumsy.
But I long to be a graceful woman.
Thankfully, grace from God and not from myself. I am in God's grace because I have been cover by the blood of His only son, Jesus. I can grow in grace by studding His word and following ways.
You see, my being a graceful women is not based on who I am physically, but is based on who I am in Christ.
When I choose love over hate; I'm graceful.
When I choose peace over chaos; I'm graceful.
When I choose to serve others over demanding that my needs be met; I'm graceful.
The list could go on and on and on.
I've entitle the blog A woman on the Edge of Grace because that's where I want to live. I want grace to overtake me. I want everyone I meet to feel like a there is a peace and a love for that can only come from me.
I long to be A Woman on the Edge of Grace because that's who God's calling me to be.
