This month we move Thankful Thursday to Grace Alone. It's an interesting combination -- thankfulness and grace.
Thankfulness is defined as: conscious of benefit received; expressive of thanks; well pleased.
Grace is defined as: unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification.
Big words!
I need a lot of grace this week. So I am hugely thankful that God is providing it.
Abuse does bizarre things to people. It warps my view of myself. That's one place God's grace comes in -- He gives me a mirror to view myself as He sees me.
He doesn't see the damaged, terrified, worthless person that I see when I look in my mirror. He sees His child, who has been hurt. A child He wants to comfort and nurture. A child who is not a victim, but a survivor. His child for whom He wants the best.
Today I am thankful for God's grace.
