[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Grace Calms The Soul by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

I can bear witness to the power of God’s grace. I could take you to the
church, to the section of seats in the church. I might be able to find the
very seat in which I was sitting when this grace found me. I was a
twenty-year-old college sophomore, living with a concrete block of guilt
that had made a mess out of my life.

But then I heard a preacher describe the divine grace that is greater than
sin. At the end of the message he asked if anyone would like to come
forward and receive this grace. Iron chains couldn’t have held me back.
Truth be told, chains had held me back, but mercy snapped the guilt chains
and set me free.

I know this truth firsthand: guilt frenzies the soul; grace calms it. The
benefit of being a great sinner is dependence upon a great grace!
