Grace like Grapes
Today I got promoted.
When i first heard the news, i didn't even register.
The Principal was talking about different things in her agenda and then she mentioned promotions.
I totally didn't expect anything.
Because last year i struggled mightily with skin and body problems, struggling if i'd ever make a difference in the world, wondering if it has any place for a handicap like me. No more thoughts of climbing a ladder, I can't be concerned with how others rank me... all i can do is look out for my kids.
I was overwhelmed. I couldn't even think. Most people are estatic - happy. I wanted to cry, but there were no more tears inside...?
Shocked.
Then i felt crushed.
Crushed?
Yes. That's the Grace of God.
It's unspeakable.
It crushes you like grapes... and while under it's influence, you see the wine within overflow in you to all around. Overflowing. God makes water into wine.
Grace makes living waters in you pour out like wine too.
Love
Ken
