16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. ~Hebrews 4:16
This devotional reminded me of Chanmi's FNL seminar on "Growing in His Extravagant Grace." When we make the same mistakes and fall into the path of previous sins, it acts as a huge discouragement. It's what the enemy uses against us because he taunts us and reminds us that we have failed over and over. The enemy wants us to give up because inevitably we will fail and sin again. He wants us to believe that we'll never get out of the cycle of sin. However, on the positive side of things, the presence of sins in our lives is truly a reminder of God's extravagant grace. Even though we fail and sin, God's loves covers over us. His grace is truly enough for us. May God be the one glorified in our weaknesses and may His grace compel us to desire more and more of Him. May His grace be overflowing that much more out of lives, so that in our imperfections, we point those around us to the perfect One.
