Introduction
Introduction
God has the biggest and best gift you could ever receive. It's his grace. It's the gift that keep on giving, because as the songwriter reminds us:
His love has no limits, his grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of his infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Accepting God's Grace Can be Difficult
You may be holding off accepting God's grace, because you feel unworthy. When we think about all the wrong things we have done in our lives, the many times we have rejected God, and moved away from him instead of moving towards him, it is natural to be worried he might not love and accept us. After all, that's a very human reaction. If someone rejects us, hurts us, and does wrong by us, our human nature wants to reject that person in return.

But God is not like that. He will never reject us. Whatever we've done, whoever we have been, he still loves us and longs to give us his grace. If you are overwhelmed by shame today, you can get rid of it. The grace of God can teach you to love God and draw closer to him. It is impossible not to love God when he loves you so much!
