LOVE AND GRACE

“Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.  The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.”

Psalm 116:5-8 KJV

John W. Peterson wrote one of the most beautiful hymns I have ever heard “It Took a Miracle”.  The words in this hymn bring tears of happiness to my eyes to know that I am saved because of God’s amazing and unconditional love.  What love and what grace flows from the heart of our Heavenly Father for us.

I believe when Mr. Peterson wrote this heart touching and inspiring hymn that he wrote it from the depths of his heart.  “It took a miracle to put the stars in place; It took a miracle to hang the world in place.  But when He saved my soul, Cleansed and made me whole, It took a miracle of love and grace.”

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and grace.  I pray for every person in the world who has never invited Jesus into their heart.  May today be the day they open the door to their heart and let Jesus come in to be their Saviour.  Jesus, thank You for dying for my sins.  I love You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
