Grace really is FREE

This past Sunday I shared the story of David extending grace to Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth. David called him to eat at the king's table all the rest of his days as the tablecloth of grace covered his deformed feet. Chuck Swindoll says, "Grace isn’t picky. Grace doesn’t look for things that have been done that deserve love. Grace operates apart from the response or the ability of the individual. Grace is one-sided…Grace is God giving Himself in full acceptance to someone who does not deserve it and can never earn it and will never be able to repay it.”
 
I can't help but think of our annual Free Grace Sale (coming up on May 5th).  This is a huge opportunity for us to extend grace to others. We are freely giving away items to ANYONE in need. It's just like when King David decided he wanted to show kindness to Saul's family, he asked if there was ANYONE left. Not - is there anyone qualified, anyone worthy - but is there ANYONE?


It will be exciting to hear and see people's responses again this year. I hope you will plan to join us for this great experience.
