Grace Wins Every Time

Daily Gratitude Year 7-Day 232: Today, I am grateful grace wins every time. 

I have a magnet at my desk. It says, "Listen to grace." It helps me to remember to be intentional. The Matthew West song "Grace Wins" is one that always causes me to pause, ponder and find peace in the truth that His grace means we can divorce the guilt of our failures forever. 

"There's a war between guilt and grace and they're fighting for a sacred space, but I'm living proof grace wins every time." -Matthew West

It doesn't matter who we are. A fisherman who failed His Lord... that guy discovered grace wins.  A man who persecuted early believers discovered grace wins on a dusty road to Damascus. Tax collectors who cheated others out of money discovered grace wins. Our past will never be the factor that determines our outcome. His love and His grace breathe fresh, new life into our days. 

"Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with Him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ." -2 Thessalonians 1:12

We can choose to live our lives in a way that points to the cross. We aren't perfect, but grace helps cover our imperfections. 

Today, I am grateful grace wins every time.
