by the grace of God

I just saw the movie "The Express" and think it beats out "Remember the Titans" and "We are Marshall". No, I'm not smoking anything. It was just that good.

I don't want to ruin it for you, but I will say that a Bible verse is read and forms the basis of Ernie Davis' (main character) beliefs.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (NIV) says "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me."

Wow, did you catch that?

The grace of God is with you. Gives you a chill doesn't it? Just to know that God is always with you, and his grace shines upon you.

But what is 'grace'? How about God's favor, love, help, and enablement.

Got anymore chills now? Maybe something warm and tingly?

Because God's grace is with you, you are who you are, you will become who you will become. And God will be there every step along the way.
