Grace, is a wonderful gift. It is an unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification by God. Do you feel God's grace? There are times, I have felt it so strongly, I just want to wrap my arms around it and hold it so I will always have that feeling.
It would be wonderful if we could go through the day with that feeling. Yet, we live in a fallen world and have to deal with things as they come up and with people that sometimes are not the most pleasant. Some even have hidden agendas.
It is during those times I try to remember God's words. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times having all that you need you will abound in every good work." II Corinthians 9:8 KJV
This is God's promise to all of us who are children of God. His divine assistance is given for each of us, so that regardless of what we need to do the work we are called to do we will have all that we need to do it.
Sometimes we forget, we are not alone. He is with us, whether we feel Him or not or we get so busy and forget. Regardless He is there.
He promised He would be there and assist us. To regenerate us ( restored to a better, higher, or more worthy state) , and to sanctify us (make holy).
Doesn't it make sense then, that we should stop, and talk to Him? Asking for His help in all things. Even to the point of discussing with Him, situations, and asking Him to direct and give us direction will make our lives not only manageable but wondrous and inspiring to others.

Smith Wigglesworth was a preacher and teacher. I read an interesting fact on him. He did not learn to read until after he married his wife Polly. She taught him to read the Bible. He often stated, “It was the only book he ever read”. He did not permit newspapers in his home, preferring the Bible to be their only reading material. I dare say that is a rarity today. When I read this, I wondered how many homes today have Bibles. If they have one, how many families read the book collectively as a family and as an individual? Obviously, I don’t have the statistics on that. However, that got me to thinking, what if! What if families began reading the bible together? What changes would come about in their homes, their lives, and their work? Of course, the changes would spill over in how we see and interact with our neighbors and treat people in our communities. Looking around at the things happening in all our communities such as ––the violence, hatred, rage, anger––
