Grace can move mountains of guilt and shame
Grace can flood your days in the desert with streams of living water
Grace can bring you through the fire of adversity without the smell of smoke being upon you
Grace is the unmerited
Favor of God, you can't buy it. You can't earn it. You can only receive it because God is so glad to give it
Grace is an ocean without a shoreline
Grace has no limit
God's grace will give you a new beginning
God's grace is greater than your sin
God's grace is greater than all your faults and failures and it's the only thing that can truly heal you
God's grace comes to even those that have not been faithful God's Grace's comes to even those that have
really not walked the way that they should walk and yet His grace and His mercy is
Extended to every single person that will believe him that will come that will humble themselves
Under his mighty hand
So often we think that God is only interested in the quote good people the people that have it all together
People that never make mistakes never give in to temptation if your performance is good enough, then you can expect God's goodness
The truth is it's just the opposite. When you blow it. God doesn't turn away from you
He turns to you. His grace comes looking for you
Jesus told a parable about a shepherd that had a hundred sheep, but one of them went astray
The Shepherd left the 99 and went looking for the one. What was that grace came looking
You can be high on drugs and grace is looking for you
You can be working in the wrong kind of place grace is looking for you. You can be cheating people dishonest
No integrity and God will leave the 99 and come after you. You can be discouraged
Depressed about to give up on life. The good news is right now grace is looking for you. You may have made mistakes
You're not where you want to be in life
You could easily sit on the sidelines let the accusing voices convince you that you're all washed up
Nothing good is in your future. No right now grace is coming to you. God is saying I'm not mad at you
I'm madly in love with you. I'm not holding anything against you
I'm not keeping a record of your mistakes. I'm not even interested in your past. I'm interested in your future
Friends, it doesn't matter to God where you've been it matters to God where you're going
That's why he's coming after you. That's why he won't leave you alone
His grace will never give up he loves you too much
To let you miss your destiny you can turn away again and again and again, but you know what grace will keep coming
Wherever you go grace will keep looking you can't outrun the grace of God
You can't do too much wrong to keep it away
You can't turn away too many times God's grace will keep coming saying I've got something better
I've got forgiveness. I've got mercy. I've got restoration. I've got a new beginning. And if you will shake off the guilt the condemnation
Start making choices that honor God he'll bless you in spite of your mistakes
He'll make something great out of your life in spite of your past
God never gives up on you. Don't give up on yourself
Receive the grace believe that there's something amazing in your future
The scripture says God came to seek and to save those that are lost
Seek means to go after to pursue to track down
Even when we run away God runs to us, even when we don't measure up. God says that's okay. I forgive you anyway
Well Joel, he doesn't deserve it. It was his fault. He brought the trouble on himself
That's what grace is all about. You can't earn it. You don't have to be good enough
It's a free gift. All you have to do is receive
Listen, the price has already been paid two thousand years ago. It's not our goodness. It's God's goodness
God has made us worthy
But we think you know God's never gonna help me. I brought this trouble on myself, but think of it as a father
Imagine our son Jonathan maybe five years old. I hear him screaming daddy come help me
I look outside and he's hanging from a tree branch
Kind of high in the air holding on for dear life if he falls he's going to get hurt
I wouldn't say hang on Jonathan. Let me think about how good you've been lately
Victoria has Jonathan been cleaning his room. Has he been treating his sister right? Dad. Hurry. Come help me just second Jonathan
I gotta check your report card
That wouldn't even enter into my mind. That's my son. I'm gonna do anything I can to help him
That's the way our Heavenly Father is
Even when you make the mistake, even when you bring the trouble on yourself God is so merciful
He says I'll still help you to get out
That's why it's called
Amazing Grace, you don't deserve it. You didn't earn it. It's just the goodness of God
