God Shed His Grace On Me

Life is a circle marked off in seasons. And to every season there is a purpose. What that purpose is may take a lifetime to know or get right. My story is my legacy that I want to leave to my children and future generations that I may never know. In many ways, it may be a familiar theme that resonates with others who God brought into this world for a reason. We are not an accident but uniquely made with our own DNA to prove it.

Our life journeys have one thing in common: we're going somewhere, and how we go--forward or back--has a lot to do with listening to the voice of God. I didn't, and I paid the price. Negative consequences still raise their ugly regrets until my Savior reminds me of whose I am, and that He is working, regrets and all, into His perfect plan.

My life story is His story because He is the Author of all the amazing things I have experienced. The ups are writing over the downs, and what He began in me is still being worked out according to His plan. His plan includes the time I was born, the people who were chosen to be my mom and dad, and the advantages and disadvantages that were woven into the storyline.

In hindsight, I would have changed things. I can't. But I can hope to show others how good God has always been to me. Through everything, He has been faithful. He knew me before I was even born and didn't pull the plug.

God Shed His Grace on Me is also about making my Lord look good because He is! And His presence is the Scarlet Thread that runs through the pages of my life.
