Experiencing Grace
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. – James 4:8
Experiencing grace is not always a grand, emotionally charged event. Rather, it is a profound spiritual encounter with God, orchestrated in His perfect timing and manner. When we are open to hearing the message of the gospel preached clearly, the Spirit of God begins a transformative work within us. It's as if He gently nudges our hearts, drawing us closer to Himself.
For some, this drawing towards God feels like an irresistible magnetic force. They sense God's presence and become aware of their separation from Him. For others, it may be a subtle awareness—a quiet realization that they need to turn towards God. There might not be an overwhelming flood of emotions, and that's okay.
Grace doesn't demand a specific feeling or emotion. It invites us to simply lean into the experience of God's unconditional love and acceptance. We don't have to wait for a surge of emotion to validate our encounter with grace. Instead, we can trust in the quiet whispers of the Spirit, guiding us towards a deeper relationship with God.
So let’s choose to embrace each moment as an opportunity to experience God's grace, trusting in His faithfulness to draw us closer to Himself. As we make this choice, we’ll learn to lean into His presence with open hearts, ready to receive the gift of grace that He so freely offers.

May I have an open heart to receive more from God, to go deeper in our relationship
I pray 🙠to get closer to God for him to help me forever and always
For all those who want to receive, pray for what you can give. It's in the giving where Jesus resides, not the receiving. Acts 20:35
amen to that!!
