Grace in Our Hearts
A few years ago, four-star General Peter Chiarelli (the No. 2 general in the US Army at that time) was mistaken for a waiter by a senior presidential advisor at a formal Washington dinner. As the general stood behind her in his dress uniform, the senior advisor asked him to get her a beverage. She then realized her mistake, and the general graciously eased her embarrassment by cheerfully refilling her glass and even inviting her to join his family sometime for dinner.
The word gracious comes from the word grace, and it can mean an act of kindness or courtesy, like the generals. But it has an even deeper meaning to followers of Christ. We are recipients of the incredible free and unmerited favorgracethat God has provided through His Son, Jesus (Eph. 2:8).
Because we have received grace, we are to show it in the way we treat othersfor example, in the way we speak to them: The words of a wise mans mouth are gracious (Eccl. 10:12). Grace in our hearts pours out in our words and deeds (Col. 3:16-17).
Learning to extend the grace in our hearts toward others is a by-product of the life of a Spirit-filled follower of Christ Jesusthe greatest of grace-givers.
Dear heavenly Father, help me today to season my words with grace. May all that I say and do be gracious to others and pleasing to You, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
Gods grace in the heart brings out good deeds in the life.
:
Salvation is Gods gift and can never be earned by our good works. Paul reminds us that through Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Eph. 1:7). In todays passage, Paul emphasizes this grace by repeating the phrase by grace you have been saved (2:5,8). While we are not saved by our good works, we are saved so that we can do good works (v. 10). Paul reminds us to be fruitful in every good work (Col. 1:10) and zealous for good works (Titus 2:14).

Great Story about Grace!
(The general showed MERCY too. He would have been well within his rights to sternly correct the boorish woman, and publicly embarrass her, but did not! LOL! I LOVE stories like that!...Contrast that with Michelle’s story of her fury at being asked by an elderly patron at Target to get something off a high shelf.)
