John wrote of Jesus Christ, “For from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:16-17). What does it mean to you that, as a Christ-follower, you have received grace upon grace? How often do you think about and rejoice in this incredible truth?
We sing about God’s grace quite frequently, but do we live in that grace? Are we growing in that grace? Here are just a very few examples of what we as believers receive by God’s grace:
- We receive our true identity: “By the grace of God I am what I am” (I Corinthians 15:10). This was Paul’s testimony to the church in Corinth.
- We receive our calling: “He. . .called us to a holy life. . .because of his own purpose and grace” (2 Timothy 1:9).
- We receive our power: “God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8).
We know that we can approach God’s throne at any time, where we will receive grace to help in our times of need.
Understanding and growing in grace is the theme and purpose for our 31st Annual Weekend Getaway coming up very soon, March 29-31. We’re going to spend the entire weekend focusing on the various gifts that come to us because of God’s grace, and learn better what it means to grow in grace. Honestly, you just don’t want to miss this weekend! You will be blessed as you listen to the speakers and musicians, as you fellowship with other women, and as you take time to let God’s grace fill you heart and mind as never before.
Maybe you’re thinking, “I just don’t do retreats.” I understand that feeling—you don’t have time to waste. But I can promise you that God shows up at these getaways and does a work in our hearts. Here’s what one woman said after last year’s getaway:
“God always has a special message for me when I attend these retreats. He is my hope…my constant, my future, and my rock. I can pray to him continually with my eyes open.”
That’s a taste of what God can do in your heart—if you’ll show up March 29-31 here in the Chicago area. I believe he has a special message for you!
