Don’t aim - Just Rain.

Niall

I was reading the comments on a Facebook Group about a new book due to come out soon called “SIN BOLDLY: A Field Guide for Grace” by Cathleen Falsani in which she invites people to comment about their experiences of Grace. One comment in particular captured my heart by a guy called Larry.

And then my wandering mind goes to Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount where he said it rains on the just and the unjust.

I’m a dope, I want to save my nurture for people I think are deserving. Jesus, meanwhile, says to give your love like a dumb cloud. Don’t aim… just rain.

I know for me - it took someone showing Grace to me for the word to really become more than a word that we talk about. I knew about Grace from growing up in the church but it was a mate of mine who showed me Grace - and now I feel I understand it more and more - in fact I don’t think I will ever really fully comprehend the Grace that Jesus talks about but for my time here on this planet I can show Grace, and in Larry’s words I won’t aim - I’ll rain Grace over everyone.

I look forward to reading Cathleen’s book too!

When did you learn about Grace - and not just the Sunday School or theological definition, I mean understand what it means in your life and heart?
