Grace

Grace isn't an idea.
Grace isn't a concept. 
It's not a phrase or ideology.
 It can't be oversimplified to fit into boxes and rules. 
Grace is a person, and grace is Jesus. 
Jesus is living and active. 
Alive and well. 
Moving and present. 
Giving us life. 
Giving us breath. 
Giving us freedom.
 Jesus can't be pushed aside into simple attributes.
 Jesus can't be talked about or discussed or studied. 
Jesus is God.
 Jesus is God with us.
 Jesus is alive in us.
 Jesus is loving and kind.
 Jesus is peace and mercy.
 Jesus is more powerful than a written word.
 Jesus is God's spoken word to us: Yes. 
Jesus is God's forever and eternal and everlasting Yes. 
A covenant. 
A relationship. 
An ever-loving God who loves us.
A loving God who gives and gives and expects nothing in return.
To separate grace from God is impossible because God gives. 
God is gracious. 
God is kind. 
God is good. 
God is loving. 
God loves us so much that He would send us His Son into this broken world in order to redeem us. We need Jesus because we are broken. 
The systems are broken. 
The government is broken.
The church is broken.
The home is broken.
The family is broken.
But Jesus comes.
Jesus fixes, saves, redeems, restores, revives, transforms, renews, refreshes, and rebuilds. 
Jesus is our cornerstone.
Jesus is God's grace towards us.
In Him and through Him, we are being recreated.
The everlasting and eternal.
Jesus.  
Grace.
