I
love the name Graceland because it describes the amazing territory into which
God placed me when He forgave me of my sin and made me His own. He took me out
of the darkness and brought me into His own “graceland.”
The
apostle Paul says that “the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one
Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many” (Rom. 5:15). I’ll be forever thankful that
the “many” includes me and that God’s love has transferred me into the
territory of His marvelous, infinite, matchless grace!
Think
of the blessing of being in God’s graceland. It is a realm where He has given
us entrance into His presence and where that same grace continues to overflow
into our lives on a daily basis. Paul tells us that even in times of despair
God showers us with sufficient grace to see us through (see 2 Cor. 12:9).
No
matter what life may bring, nothing can remove us from the realm of God’s
grace.
Remember
where you live and rejoice in His grace. (RBC)
