There are times I don’t want to forget the many times I have been forgiven, after all, this is the point of grace.
We tend to think of God as the God of second chances. But if we were to truly give thought to, and remember the many times we have been forgiven, we would realize the greatness of the gift of forgiveness. He extends forgiveness to us time and time again. We receive many more chances than two.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9, NASB)
Grace is the gift we receive over and over again, throughout our lifetime, and until eternity.
If we were able to turn back the hands of time, there are probably many mistakes we would not want to experience for a second time. We would probably undo many things done, go a different path, or make better choices.
However, in so doing, we would then miss the depth of God’s grace and mercy upon our lives.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE and let’s discuss the gift of God’s forgiveness and grace.

David Seamands calls grace the face God wears. I like that. We need it over and over again.
Whenever my past sins parade themselves in my memory, I try to remember this important truth and give thanks.
