Grace

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”~James 4:6

Sometimes I get delusional and begin to think that I am Wonder Woman.  I get that I can do it all mentality.    I push through pain and then feel guilty when I don't.  This is pride.  Yes, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but this includes receiving the grace that He wants to give me.

Grace is being blessed with a supportive family who steps in to  pick up the pieces when I am not at my best because of pain.  Grace is a hug from my church member who wants to ease the emotional burden I face.  Grace are colleagues who check on me at work to make sure I am eating and not over doing it.  Grace is prayer warriors who lift me up to God and keep me encouraged. Grace is the kindness of strangers.  Grace is being okay with weakness because I know He is strong.

I am “not every woman”.  I have limitations, but His grace extends me.  So I humble myself and with gratitude I say thank you. Father, I  thank you for your bountiful grace and mercy for without it I’d be so lost. In Jesus name. Amen
