Grace

"Beloved, our God has blessed and continues to bless, not by fits and starts but by a constant grace."
(Beside Still Waters, Charles H. Spurgeon, p. 138)

When you're going through hard times (a rebellious child, an angry husband, sickness, fatigue, spiritual dryness, etc.), do you ever get the feeling that maybe God has withdrawn His grace from you for some reason?

I would like to suggest that the better thought is that God has not withdrawn His grace; rather He is pouring out His grace upon you.

It may not feel like grace, but remember this: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28), and "he gives more grace" (James 4:6).

I can't get enough of it. And I'm never without it.

If you are His, you are always under His grace.
