Grace upon Grace

"I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens." Philippians 4:11

'Test this question: What if God's only gift to you were His grace to save you. Would you be content? You beg Him to save teh life of your child. You plead with Him to keep yor business afloat. you impore Him to remove teh cancer from your body. What if His answer is, "My grace is enough." Would you be content?

You see, from heaven's perspective, grace is enough. If God did nothing more than save us from ehll, could anyone complain?...Having been give eternal life, dare we grumble at an aching body? having been given heavenly riches, dare we bemoan earthly poverty?...

If you have eyes to read these words, hands to hold a book, the means to own this volume, He has already give you grace upon grace."-Max Lucado, In the Grip of Grace
