there is no failure in grace
What an amazing revelation. What an amazing God - God is. So amazing that i can't even comprehend it! I don't even know where to begin sharing my story.
I guess my testimony today is derived from the bank of my many accumulated thought (i don't even know what i'm saying). Anyway, today while i was praying for the people that i know, and praying for oppotunities to share to them, I've realised something important. I've realised of how gracious loving and supacalifragilistic God is. Even if my "evangelism" failed, God has a plan for the person that i evangelised - better MUCH BETTER plan that the ones i have.
How do i know? Because i am one living example/"experiment" of all this grace.
The fact that i know God - that He would called me to be His fellow workers - that He would use this useless/talentless/lazy person to work in His field is.... mind-blowing! it's inexpressible! That He would train me and patiently mentor me to be the person that He wants me to be - SPEECHLESS!
WHAT's more important and significant is that He would (in the first place) revealed Himself to me and allowed me to know Him!! that's more than - amazing mind-blowing!!
So you see -- I don't think that the Gospel will ever fail... because to begin with, we don't EVER have the ability to make it succeed, but God in His authority and power had made it happen and succeed.
So when ppl say to you - "ahh ... i've failed to share the gospel today", "i think that person is just hopeless" ask yourself - who's doing the changing here- us or the gospel itself? The GOSPEL will NEVER fail! When we fail, the Gospel still works in ppl. The gospel is all about grace - how can grace fail if to begin with it never asks for success. Grace does not asks for anything other than the fact that it wants to be given to others. Grace - the most expensive thing in the world - does not ask for a price but for it to be spread freely.
Sorry for this post... i think i'm too emotional at the moment to even write properly... ideas (THOUSANDS of ideas and feelings) are floating and jumbling and screaming in my mind and heart at the moment... but i just want to emphasise the fact that GRACE WILL NEVER FAIL. the GOsPEL will NEVER fail!
