“For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.” (John 1:16, AMP)
As the words of this verse settle in, I confess that I’m amazed and overwhelmed by their meaning. The fullness or abundance of Jesus rains and pours over us over and over. It’s difficult for most of us to comprehend the measure of God’s grace for us. As humans, our minds think small with limits and constraints. As a Christian, a Child of the Almighty God, we must renew our minds daily to ensure that our thinking reflects the mind of God – His fullness, abundance and love for us. Remember, once God’s “Faucet of Grace” is turned on in our lives, it delivers an endless shower of love, grace, favor, spiritual blessings and gifts that never turn off or run out.
All the love, grace, favor, blessings and gifts, I received yesterday have been replaced with today’s endless supply. I don’t need to store them up, save them or use them sparingly in an effort to make them last. Today, once again, my storehouse is running over with all I need. God’s Word tells me that His “Faucet of Grace” with its endless supply only stops flowing or turns off whenever I turn it off. You and I turn the faucet off when we abandon our faith and trust in God and walk in unbelief and disobedience.
Examine your life today, Child of God. I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any area of your life where you are not believing God and walking in faith. Then, quickly repent and commit to love God with all your mind, heart, soul and strength and to love others. Get ready for a refreshing shower and bathe under God’s “Faucet of Grace.” Be prepared to start every day under His never-ending “Faucet of Grace.”
Father, thank you for your love and grace. Holy Spirit, help me renew my mind daily and realize that God’s grace is all I need for every situation, and that His grace never runs out. Through the blood of Jesus and in the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
