Hey guys. Thought it might be time for a new thread here on the crothblog. While this is not a patriotic theme I thought borrowing a line from America the Beautiful would be appropriate.
Anyway, before bed last night April and I were discussing what it means to “grow in grace.” We came down to two basic ideas. The first was the idea of growing in an understanding of what God’s grace has done for us in the past and how he has spared us from our own poor choices and sinful actions. The second was the aspect of growing in our experience of God’s grace becoming more real to us. His word promises that His grace is sufficient and so rather than praying that He would give us grace I try to pray that His grace would be more real to us or that we would fully experience the grace He offers. I would appreciate hearing what your idea of what growing in grace is like and how it has taken place in your life. I believe it involves looking behind us and seeing where God has brought us by His grace as well as on a daily basis choosing to live in light of His grace and basking in it during each situation whether positive or negative.
We certainly have experienced His grace by being placed in this great land of ours!
Hope your Independance Day was fantastic. Here are a few pictures that I thought I would share...
Love you all,
Caleb
