They go Together!

Greetings! 1Tim 1:13-14 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown MERCY because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The GRACE of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Peanut Butter and Jelly, Forks and Spoons, Salt and Pepper.These are things that usually are always together. But there is something else that as Paul states here in these Vs, comes from God together. And that is Mercy and Grace! And today as I sit here thanking God for all the things He has given me in my life today, I have to thank Him for those 2 things the most. For I was once like Paul, I was a blasphemer and persecutor, an angry and violent man. A man that deserves far worse of a life than I have today. But thanks to Jesus Christ I have been shown Mercy. Something I think we all take a little to lightly, because we all sin everyday and deserve the punishment which is separation from God. But everyday we are shown Mercy. And that's where Grace, Mercy's partner comes in. For so much of my life I blasphemed God and persecuted believers for their faith. But yet today God shows me favor, when he should not even look upon me. How about you? I don't think we really realize how much Mercy and Grace play in our daily lives. It is something God gives us everyday, every hour, every minute. So today at some point don't forget to stop and Thank God for Jesus His Son. Because it is through Him we receive this Mercy and Grace! And don't forget to Thank Him for that. Because today I know I have been shown Mercy and Grace, because the Lord has allowed me to live another year. And He has allowed me to have wonderful people like you in my life to share his word with. So as you reach for the Salt and Pepper today, remember Gods Mercy and Grace, cause they Go Together! HABD!
