grace like rain

The rain here is intense. One minute it is hot and sunny then suddenly....monsoon! It brings in this cool air, and the sound of it crashing is just so sweet. It is washing it all away...

It reminds me of God's grace. His good, undeserved, unending grace that He pours down on us with love.

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16

Steve Fee's "Grace Will Be My Song" continually filled my head today with its anthem so true.

Jesus Jesus Jesus
You ransomed one like me
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Your blood, my liberty
And now my shame is gone
And grace will be my song

Jesus Jesus Jesus
Lover of the weak
Jesus Jesus Jesus
With strength to carry me
And now my shame is gone
And grace will be my song

Glory Glory Glory
To the one who saved my soul
Glory Glory Glory
To the Everlasting Lord
Glory Glory Glory
To the King who sits enthroned
Our God

What a wonderful truth! My prayer is for these women and children to be able to sing and rejoice one day:

"and now my shame is gone...and grace will be my song"
