Grace Upon Grace!
"And of His fullness we have all
received, and grace for grace."
John 1: 16
We can never exhaust God’s grace or wear out His
promises. The phrase “grace for grace” conveys the
idea of reoccurring waves, like an ocean.
Someone put it like this:
“From the fullness of his grace we have
all received one blessing after another.”
Raymond H. Davis wrote, “Every spiritual blessing we have
prepares us for a greater blessing. Every filling with the Holy
Ghost creates a capacity for an additional filling with the Holy
Ghost. Every experience of the presence of
God we enjoy
leads the way to a richer experience of the presence of God.
"As long as we live in this life we can go on from blessing to
blessing, from filling to filling with the Holy Spirit, from experience
to experience of God’s presence until,
finally, we see Him face to
face when He returns to receive us into His
glory.”
We have His waves of grace
amidst the storms of life.
"Grace upon grace?! I’m floored. What can I say? His grace
upon grace not only lets me live, His grace lets me serve, it
lets me worship, it lets me take His name as my own, it
called me by name, it grants me fullness of life."
