G & M’s
the daily evidence in my life…
Grace…
Grace finds me while I am still dying,
Lifts me from the floor where I am lying.
Grace strengthens every part of me, especially in weakness,
Gives me moments I thought I lost, times when I feel out of time.
Grace welcomes me with open arms, even when I am a stranger.
Grace calls me family even when my reputation called me an enemy
Grace whispers “yes” where others could only echo “no.”
Grace lets me walk through valleys and brings me out the other side.
Grace holds me up when all I want is to fall down.
Grace lets hope linger while I am still wishing.
Grace opens doors no one ever thought nor saw.
Grace arrives, turns heads,and raises questions.
Grace helps me rise above what should’ve taken me under.

Mercy…
Mercy wakes me in the morning,
Gently moves me through the afternoon sun,
brings me home in the hush of evening.
Mercy carries me into another day, week, month, and year.
Mercy pours out blessings I never saw coming.
Mercy becomes my reason to live; again and again.
Mercy grants new chances when none should remain.
Mercy speaks on my behalf, despite every mistake.
Mercy reminds me; to be humble, to stay grateful.
Mercy wipes away the pain I cannot explain.
Mercy shields me from being consumed by the madness.
Mercy is always greater than my sins.
I live by God’s unmerited, unwavering, faithful, steadfast, loving grace and mercy —for they speak into my life every day. May I never get used to this.🎈❤️
