Overflowing grace

When the Lord gives us the breakthough, it will be beyond our imaginations and expectations. For the Lord proves His love for us which surpasses our imaginations. We do not receive our blessings because of our goodness or righteousness. But purely because of His grace. As Rev. Selwyn Hughes says, "God's resources infinitely exceed our requirements".

It is true that our Lord is more than enough for us and that is why He is called the El Shaddai which translates, 'The Lord Almighty'. In other words the Lord who is 'The enough'.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (New International Version)
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need...

God will meet all our needs. He is able...only we need to trust and wait for His grace to work in our lives...

  1. "We do not receive our blessings because of our goodness or righteousness. But purely because of His grace."

    How true... Many times we fail to relaize this and go on seeking blessings from God instead of thanking Him for what all He has given us.

    Thanks Irene

  2. I love this one... 2 Cor 9:8

    Many a times it so happens that we get carried away with anything that earns success for us and we credit to our efforts and miss to see the hand of God working it out more to say the plan that God has made even before we were born.
