       Suppose for a second your son or daughter goes to a friends house for an evening and has a good time. Then the child comes home and says, “My friend’s dad was really nice. I wish you were like his dad.” What is going happen? You are going to feel jealous of the other guy, aren’t you? Well, it’s no different with God. If we say, “I like living in this particular sin; yes, I really like it.” God’s going to get upset and jealous of our lack of devotion to his truth. It’s a wonderful thing, however, that we have God’s grace. Let’s stop for a moment and reflect, what is God’s grace? How could we define it? Grace is deferment of what we really deserve, it is the suspension of what is coming to us, it is his patience in waiting to see if we well change our course, it is his reprieve of judgment. Grace is God’s favor toward us, his generosity in all kinds of ways; it is his wanting what is the best of us—which is often times what we really want.
