God's Love & Grace

Gods Love and Grace reaches further then our limited understanding. Sometimes we are blinded because of the rules we place on Gods Love and Grace. Are you a judge for God.

This week was a week of blessings and sorrow. A blessing because my family is healthy and work is steady. Sorrow because a close friend of ours lost a loved one.

He was a young father of 37. He died of a heart attack. How can this be? This should not be, he is too young to die! The family cries.

20 And later Isaiah (Prophet) spoke boldly for God, saying,

   “I was found by people who were not looking for me.
     I showed myself to those who were not asking for me."

This scripture describes the jealousy of God towards the Israelites who did not listen to Him. Therefore, God gave the gentiles (non-believers), people who were not looking for Him a chance to see, and an opportunity to know Him. I saw the smile and peace on the face of this young deceased man, and I like to believe that Jesus showed himself to this young man, and was his guide into the light of heaven. This is what I call Gods unbelievable Love and Grace for His Children.
