surprised

“(Sabbath is a) means by which we become prepared for grace to surprise us. (It is one of the) ways of opening our hands so that we can receive the gifts God wants to give us.”

Brian McLaren

When was the last time you were ‘surprised by grace’? Do you remember? Was it something someone said to you? Was it something that happened to you that knew was of God? Was it something you saw?
All of earth is dripping with the presence of God. Will you take the time to notice? Will you ask Him to give you eyes to see it or ears to hear it?
Slow down. Watch and listen. Allow Him to surprise you by grace.
Grace and peace,
Deb
