Imagine...

This is what it’s like…

That feeling when you’ve been traveling for days and you’re exhausted.  You finally get home, throw your stuff down, and dive into your own bed.  Its familiar and comforting— like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold, dreary day. It warms you up inside and the sweetness spreads to every part of you. It feels pure somehow. Wholesome. Good.

or…

when you’re looking at what just might be the most brilliant sunset you’ve ever seen— emotions rise up in your chest and you wonder how anything could be so beautiful!  You keep watching. You don’t want to miss one minute of the magic that’s happening right in front of you.

or when…

it seems like hours that you’ve been anxiously waiting to hear she made it safely. You practically jump out of your skin when the phone finally rings. At the first sound of her voice, relief rushes over you like a tidal wave and you can finally breathe again.

and…

when you gaze into the eyes of your newborn son for the first time—you can’t help but smile as you take in the miracle of life. Your heart beating so fast you feel like it might explode from pure joy.

or…

when you’re wrapped in the arms of someone you love; holding on tightly, feeling safe and protected, never wanting to let go.

Take all those feelings and roll them into one, times it by one hundred, and then you’ve got it.  Yep, that’s what it’s like. That’s how it feels when God’s Grace covers you.  Believe it!
