Gigantic Supernatural Grace Party! October 16 Notes from Papa via Paul Gray
To My most excellent child, who is perfect in every way,
Today I want you to consider the phrase “grow in grace” that Peter wrote about.
Unfortunately many religious people say “grow in grace” as sort of a throw-away phrase (like “have a good day”) and never give any thought to what it actually means. It means a lot… way more than you’ll ever be able to comprehend!
My grace is unlimited, constant, lavish and many-faceted. Grace is Our love in action. Grace is the face that I (Love) wear when I come in contact with My children.
Many religious people believe the lie that I’m “too holy” to come in contact with sin… sinful people. At the same time, they believe (correctly) that Jesus is God. I want them to see the obvious: Jesus– God Himself—came to be with mankind! He lived with you, ate with you, drank with you, stayed with you, hung out with you. And that was with the “worst sinners” of His day: drunks, prostitutes, thieves, cheaters, and the like.
Just considering that God came and hung out with “sinners” should tell anyone and everyone that “God is not too holy to come in contact with sinners!”
Some people just can’t fathom that a “holy God” could be in the presence of “sinners.” That’s because they don’t know My definition of “holy,” “sinners,” and “grace.”
Holy has to do with the way relationships are meant, by Me, to be: perfect, unselfish, giving, loving, accepting, forgiving. Sin simply means to miss the mark of My Glory, which is grace. Grace is My unconditional love in action.
Grace is My unconditional love in action: loving without conditions, limits or prerequisites; forgiving in advance, lifting up and taking away anything and everything that someone could possibly “owe” Me because of “offending” Me; accepting and including everyone; making everyone completely right with Me; producing effortless change in people; providing everything in advance and continually for everyone to be all I have made them to be and do all I have for them to do.
My grace is unlimited, never-ending, all-encompassing and far better than any human mind can ever comprehend!
Grace is completely and totally from Me– it encompasses all the “fruit” of My Spirit. You can’t earn grace, can’t merit grace, can’t say or do any “magic” trick to get Me to give you grace, can’t out-sin My grace, can’t lose or forfeit grace, can’t produce grace, can’t even comprehend My grace!
But… you can grow in my grace, which means you can experience more and more of My grace every day… even every moment. As you do, you grow in effortlessly changing, you grow in comprehending how wonderful and inclusive My grace is and you grow in the knowledge of who I really am, what I am really like and who I have made you to be.
I have designed life (both now and for all eternity) to be one gigantic supernatural grace party which only gets better and better and better every moment as you grow in grace. It’s party time! Enjoy!
~Love, Papa
