I used the wrong side

Have you thought about the grace of God lately? I mean really thought about it.

The Bible states that we gained access to grace. An unlimited source, right?

Well I have an analogy. It comes from me being a dork.

This afternoon I was trying to use our "swiffer". I sprayed the stuff with the trigger and began scrubbing. All that was happening was a smudge. It was not getting clean.

Aggravated, i sprayed more and scrubbed harder. Once again nothing but a smudge. the harder I worked the worse it got. No matter what I did it just got worse! Then, i looked at the bottom of it and realized, yep you guessed it, that I had the pad on upside down.

So I simply turned the pad around and it worked just like I was supposed to.

Sometimes we work so stinking hard at gaining access to grace. We scrub harder only to have a big smudge.

We are judged by all kinds of people and think we need their validation. People like; preachers, pastors, TV Evangelists, a Sunday School teacher, etc....

If you are reading this and have screwed up in anyway, form or fashion and cannot feel the forgiving grace of God then quit using the wrong side.

Simply turn over away from man and allow Him to do what He does best..... give you access to Him and apply His grace to your life.
