"His Grace Reaches Me"

by Mark Pugh

What a wonderful thought expressed in that powerful Whitney Gleason song.

Grace that is deeper than the ocean and wider than the sea,
Higher than the mountains and brighter than the sun.
It is the greatest of treasures and it's mine today!

Most Christians who understand grace can point to a time in their lives when they began to grasp the wonderful concept of the grace of God. It is almost like a line of demarcation. It is the proverbial light bulb going off. The Greeks would say, "Eureka!" Grace is a discovery so wonderful and so life changing that once having tasted God's grace, your life will never be the same. Tasting grace will cause you to view God in a whole new way. His great love and His sacrifice of Jesus will take on new meaning.

Grace will give you a sense of gratitude like nothing you have ever experienced. It is God's gift. Having tasted God's grace, every new day becomes special. Every breath of air becomes special. Every step you take becomes special. God gives it all to us as a gift. May we ever live our lives in view of God's amazing grace!
