There is a place we come to enter by blood. There is a place we come to enter only on account of a great and perfect sacrifice. There is a place to which love has drawn us near. This place is the house that is God. As we enter the house that is God, we find from door to door; wall to wall; ceiling to floor; that there is grace. It is impossible to live in the House that is God and not live in grace. Kindness and help we couldn't earn-we can't help but walk in. Grace like a wave has covered us, yet we're not drowning. Walking in God we are crowned in love. Love we can sink our toes in; Love we can close our eyes in; Love we can grow old in; Love that will never grow cold; Love that will embrace us in low and high tide. Love unmerited; Love eternal; Love that is a resting place; Love that brings us to confidently call the house, that is God, our home. What then lies in our way? What then causes us to stumble? We are helped in every measure. We encounter no need that bankrupts God. We have, in God, grace without measure. Kindness and help we couldn't earn-we can't help but walk in. Grace like a wave has covered us, yet we're not drowning. Reflect and Apply: 1. How do we enter the house that is God?
2. What is the believers relationship to the God who is full of grace?
3. How does grace change the life of a believer?
4. How does the grace of God invite the believer to rest? 5. Do you find it difficult to receive grace? What is challenging about having to live on a gift as opposed to something you must earn?
