I was out in the yard today cutting down a bush that had started to overtake our house. I was struck by one of the things that God has revealed to me. I have thought about this before but was overwhelmed today with the thought of God's incredible grace he has for all people. We were cursed as men to toil the earth and pick weeds. (Genesis). Since the fall of man even the earth has been growning for everything to be put back as it once was. I was working out in the yard and was realizing that there is still a lot of times that I enjoy mowing the grass, pruning trees, pulling the weeds so that the garden looks great. I just think that it is amazing that God lets us have joy, enjoy the thing that he put under a curse, it just proves his incredible grace that he shows us on a daily basis. I know there are many more times that he shows us his love, his grace, with things that are terrible or tragic for some. For instance, when a storm hits and trees are blown down, and fences break, it provides jobs for some at a moments notice. Tragedy hits and money is put in the bank. Then just the common grace that he gives to all people, even those that don't know him and never will. He is full of so much joy and love that he spills over with so much more grace than what we deserve. When what we deserve is destruction and pain, solice, and joylessness, he gives us so much more than we deserve.
