"His Grace"

Ephesians 2:1-5 says,1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air,the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.3 All of us also lived among them at one time,gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgression-is by grace you have been saved. Upon reading this I was amazed, because I was always taught that God don't and won't look upon a person that is living in sin. But these verses are totally opposite to what has and is being taught about Gods grace. So while I sat amazed at what I read I was lead to write a poem expressing my feelings. Titled"His Grace" I thought He could not see my face, because of the life I was in, A twisted world distorted by drugs, pain on one side and misery on the other, lying, stealing and cheating as well, grief was always ringing the bell. I thought He could not see my face, because of the life I was in, My body crying out for deliverance, in a fiery den, gashing teeth, thirsty, a hell within,death all around no sign of hope, sick and tired of all the dope. I thought He could not see my face, because of the life I was in, He saw my face before the beginning of time, way before my very first crime, in the womb where inequity dwelled, were I inherited the steps to hell. I thought He could not see my face, because of the life I was in, Back long ago when the journey was complete, a sacrifice offered for the debt to be paid, it lead to man being saved, when the lamb rose again from the grave. I thought He could not see my face, because of the life I was in, But then again, the whole journey lead to this place, where I would tell the story about His Amazing Grace!

As I returned home from the holiday,I pondered on my family and just what they meant to me. There was two ways to view them, one being the way the world looks at them and concentrateing on all the faults, the problems, all the imperfections that we have accoumalated. The pains( how so and so let me down, or how dissappointed I am with you) and then there are all the lies, the drugs ,the trouble with the law. There was the early births to unwed mothers and then there was the deaths and those still alive that I cant stand. On the other side there was those that I'm so prould of, those that I love and my favorites, and then there is those that no one understands. Looking at all this I was so prould of my family, becuase even though we have all this in it we still are a family, and there is alot of love in it. We all might not say I love you the same way as the other, but we do say it in our own way. Looking at them from the eyes of JESUS CHRIST are even more precious becuase HE died for each and everyone of them, so dispite what it seem LOVE your Family becuase Jesus loves you!
