Father, through Your eyes I can see that I…

Day 21

I Am Given the Grace of God

“He gives us more grace”

(JAMES 4:6).

My all-time favorite class was ninth-grade algebra. I loved puzzles, which made algebra fun. Because other subjects were hard for me, my A’s in algebra helped to soothe my suffering self-image. In math class, I faced each test with confidence! Tuesday’s test would be no different.

But while taking the test, I suddenly found that I couldn’t remember the formula for problem number one…and number two…or three, four, and five…my mind had gone blank! I could solve only the last two problems. Stunned, I handed my paper to the teacher. After a long, pensive pause, she asked, “When do you have study hall tomorrow?” “At ten o’clock,” I nervously replied. The next day at ten sharp I was in my algebra classroom, and I was given a second chance. I was given a gift called grace.

Before even knowing what the word grace meant, I knew what it was like to be impacted by it. I was in awe that a teacher would extend undeserved favor toward me. That’s what the New Testament Greek word for grace means: “undeserved care, unearned favor.”

God is a God of second chances. He is a God full of grace, a God who not only saves you from eternal death, but also saves you from a defeated life. He saves you by putting His life in you. If you focus only on what it’s like to fail in certain areas of your life, you could be drawn into the downward spiral of dejection. However, Jesus said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
