What's So Amazing About Grace?

It was the book of best selling author Phillip Yancey.. I had to admit that I got bored by the way he presented his thoughts but I find it hard to ignore it..Aside from it's a requirement, I know that I will learn a lot..it has a life changing effect.. when I am creating a final exam and reflecting on my learnings, I can't help but cry when I contemplate on God's goodness..

Grace is given to someone who doesn't deserve it.. It costs nothing from the recipient but costs everything from the Giver. God costs His Son for those who are undeserving. We did nothing to deserve God's gift-a gift of life...yet we have it. I always look back to the Parable of the Lost Son...and I always see myself in it.

Grace taught me how to be humble, how to be patient, and how to forgive.. It continously teach me how to love others most especially the unlovables. I don't deserve His grace, but I have it. God accepted the best and the worst of who I am. So who am I to boast?
