Large Gifts

Grace is a word that carries compounded meanings; forgiveness, righteousness, strength, wisdom; that is simply naming a few gifts included in God's grace.

Peace indicates an inner assurance, an untroubled soul regardless of circumstances.  Peace does not come from ignorance nor ignoring reality.  One can experience sorrow and peace at the same time.  Peace could be described as fully knowing what could happen or what is happening, yet feeling a calm assurance that Our Father is with us and will give us power to come out victorious in our days on earth or take us home in a victorious death.

The more I know God and his Son, the greater experience of grace and peace I obtain.  That makes me want to know him all the more.
