Grace

As i came across the word of 'Grace', it's quite hard to understand it unless we take in practice.
I believe Grace comes from our faith to God. If we believe in Him, we believe Go's grace is upon us.
Grace is God's unmerited favor. It is kindness from God we don't deserve. There is nothing we have done, nor we can ever do to earn this favor. God's grace is not a license to sin. It's a gift from God.Grace is divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration (rebirth) or sanctification; a virtue coming from God; a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine favor.

A preacher once explained grace to me with this acronym:
God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense

I remember that my aunt shared to me her working life. She conclude it with: If we honour God in our life, God will definitely honour us back in our life. We need alot of grace in our life especially dealing things with people.

I can always see God's grace is upon mummy. Many times, whenever she met difficulties or whenever she came to a bottle neck, she prayed, and God granted her a new road. Just like when she walk into police station to lodge a report (wira car accident), God's grace upon her by letting the police being friendly and helpful to her. Even the person whom he always goes to police station to help customer dealing things, he was surprise that the police act in that way. Mummy shared, and she always say: if we treat people friendly, people will treat us friendly too. She was thankful that God's mercy is on her. But through this case, i can see not only she was friendly, God's mercy is on her, but also God's grace is on her.

Many things are beyond our control. And many times, things does not work out with our hardwoking, knowledge, skills,relationship, authority, money and etc. It is important to have the mentioned things in life. But for things beyond our control, somehow it will not work even we have tried our best. Still, God's grace is needed. Having faith on God trusting and praying that God's grace is upon us to walk through our daily life.
