2 Corinthians 4:16 “So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.”
Have you ever taken a new shirt out of its packet, unfolded it and then tried to get it back in the original packaging? You soon discover that once unfolded it is virtually impossible to return it to its original state.
Grace works in a similar way. As we allow it to unfold, our life changes. Through it we discover that we can never be the same again. Grace keeps unfolding to such a degree that even our old desires and ways are consumed. As grace continues its expansion we soon find that we no longer fit in our old life packet. Praise God!
So, lets have a fresh God Encounter this week by allowing grace to unfold in our lives. The old life packet will soon fall apart revealing a new life marked by grace. Each day allow grace to unfold a little more. Soon we’ll discover that our past has gone and our future is overflowing with His grace. Our new life of grace will cause us to no longer want to give up. We will be able to say, just like Paul the Apostle, “We’re not giving up. How could we!”
Have a great week ahead!
