Grace — God’s will and power for me, working in my life to do His pleasure.

I like that. God’s will and power for me!

I need that. I want that. How else shall I live? How else shall I succeed and prosper and mature? How else shall I find joy, contentment, and peace?

And how else shall I serve those about me?

That’s right — it isn’t just about me.

“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward” (Ephesians 3:2).

That strikes me this morning.

God gives His grace to me in order to channel it to another.

Thus, my experience of God’s grace leads to another’s experience of God’s grace.

Or it should, anyway, for that is His intent.

I have only a faint, fuzzy idea of God’s generosity toward me.

Even so, what I know is marvellous — matchless love, complete salvation, enabling grace, genuine peace, acceptable faith.

What a list — glorious in its richness, yet pathetic in its incompleteness!

Yet sometime the clear completeness of God’s generosity toward us will be fully shown and known.

“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).
