I was at the grocery store yesterday and heard a loud crash and something shattering. Being curious and concerned, I walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle.
When I walked down that aisle, I saw an Older Lady had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the ground and broken. She was kneeling on the floor embarrassed, frantically trying to clean it up.
I felt so bad for her because everyone was just standing there staring at her! So, I went over and knelt beside her and told her not to worry, and started helping her pick up the broken pieces.
After about a minute, the Store Manager came and knelt beside us and said, "Leave it, we will clean this up." The Lady, totally embarrassed said, "I need to pay for all this first."
The Manager smiled, helped her to her feet, and said, "No Ma'am, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay anything!"
If you have read this far, I would like for you to give me a minute. Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you!
Collecting the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows that life has thrown at you.
The cost for your mistakes, sins, and errors has already been covered by the Precious Blood of Christ. God is poised to mend all your wounds.
He wants to gently lift you to your feet again, clean up your mess, and pick up all the broken pieces. He wants to heal you! He wants to take care of your soul!
We can have that same insurance and it's called GRACE!
