GRACE TO THE HUMBLE
Article by Tom Gilbert — May,
2008
Many people have experienced trials in life where they
were faced with the certainty that there was nothing in their human power that
could help them. The only recourse was to fold or to rely on help from a power
greater than them. We Christians call this power God
and the phrase, “But for the grace of God” is uttered by those of
us who testify to this great and loving power.
Theologians will speak of various types of grace, but they all seem to be in
agreement that the grace God bestows on us is free. God’s grace is the
favor He shows us. Thank God for that! We are not deserving of this grace, but
gratefully our worthiness is not a requirement to receive grace.
Make Your Self Ready
I do think we can make ourselves ready to receive God’s grace. And I’m
fairly certain that we often deflect this grace through our own selfishness,
arrogance and pride. Perhaps this is why Proverbs 3:34 states that God “gives
grace to the humble”. This verse is pointed out in the wonderful New Testament
writing of James. In chapter 4, verse 6 James writes, “He gives us more
grace”. God gives us more grace to deal with our weakness. God loves to
demonstrate through us His power. When we are weak – in other words, humble – His
power is evident.

LIVING AND WORKING ON PURPOSE
Article
by Bradley Davidson (Coach Brad), © 2008
Reprinted by permission of the author
In a recent newsletter I wrote for my coaching clients, I
profiled the life of Truett Cathy, the founder of "Chick-Fil-A", and
how his vision of giving kids a chance has transformed countless lives. As I
was thinking about the individual I would like to feature in the next month's
article, I thought of several highly recognizable individuals whose lives have
been lived with purpose and passion. As I asked myself which of these individuals'
stories would have the greatest impact on my clients, something occurred to me.
My brilliant and gifted readers have a story of life purpose that will be more
meaningful that any story I can tell. I now extend that sentence to include you.
YOU have a wonderfully compelling story of life purpose just waiting to be told.
When you read the last sentence I just wrote,
many of you probably agreed. Many of you have
found your life's vision and purpose and are
living it with great
joy. However, some of you read that sentence and said, "What is he talking
about? Me? Brilliant and Gifted? I have a story to tell about what?" To
those of you who have found your life's calling and purpose, congratulations!
To those of you who are still seeking, I am EXCITED for you. What a joyous journey
to begin! Let's do it together. How? Read on.

I just wanted to thank
you for your website. You constantly stay positive and
I know how hard that is. Your words are so filled with
love and empty of judgement. You have given me new perspectives
on God's grace, mercy, love, etc. when I needed it most.
Your site and responses to my questions have helped me
significantly. I am so thankful for the things God does
through all of you who work for this site. May God bless
you in all aspects of your lives. Keep up the good work!
— Mark L. |
