No Fear; No Guilt; Much Grace
“What
matters most to me is.....letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God,”
Acts 20:24 The Message
It’s all about grace. (Not all about Gracie!) So, imagine how happy I was when I stumbled across a verse in Eugene
Peterson’s easy-to-read translation of the New Testament that expresses my heart so perfectly. You see, what really matters most to me is letting everyone I meet know all about His
grace—“this incredibly, extravagant, generosity of God.” Once we know that, when we finally get it, then, and only then, will we be able to live with “no fear” and “no guilt.”
As the title of my home page reads, there’s grace “For Every Need.” That means what it says—grace for every sin, every misstep, weakness, fault, genetic flaw, or
dysfunctional behavior. And grace comes “In Living Color.” It was Peter, the disciple who needed as much help as you and I do, who wrote about the many different colors of God’s grace. First
he told us to expect “various” trials—as varied as the colors in the rainbow, (1 Peter 1:6). Then he encouraged all of us to help each other out—by faithfully sharing grace in all its
colorful forms, (1 Peter 4:10). So whether you are feeling blue, pea green, or peachy keen; even if you are green with envy or turning an ugly shade of yellow; may matching shades of God’s
amazing grace wash over you.
I seek to share God’s multicolored grace through my books and articles, by speaking to women’s groups, and in teaching Bible studies. Follow the links to find out
more about God’s grace and a bit more about Gracie.
