Ephesians 7 reads "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" When I consider Grace, I initially envision a soft, caring, supportive, encouraging, merciful image in my mind. According to Webster's, grace is "unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification"—additionally defines riches as "things that make one rich : wealth"—then, wealth as "abundant supply".
To yesterday's posting where I thought about the Grace for the moment vs. the future, I am encouraged to know that there is an abundant supply and that this is something we can receive without our merit. And that this is intended for regeneration and sanctification—to rebuild us and change us.
A while back I wrote about allowing for change (http://rickfossum.blogspot.com/2010/03/allowing-change.html) and how we, or those around us, respond when change in ourselves or others occurs. As God provides grace for the moment, we should all in turn should do the same.
Its been said that "one man's garbage is another man's treasure". I suppose this means that we all should consider what we consider garbage or riches.
