I'm back again with renewed JOY as I read The "Saved by Grace" thread.
Special thanks to dajomaco, eaglesway, Seth
re: "Grace is more powerful than sin...because it is powered by love, purely given to the unmerited...weep tears of joy...Grace does many things. Forgives, establishes, corrects and shapes."
also the beautiful, simply awesome poem on "the Manchild...symbol of what?" thread by eaglesway.
Clay in the potters hand,
spinning round and round,
comforted with water,
pressed until its shape is found,
then very carefully lifted,
and placed within the kiln,
a vessel made in fire,
in the Master's purpose, bound.

Eph 1:7
We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
JOY OF FORGIVENESS DeYoe, 1900
There's gladness in my heart today, today,
A peace I cannot tell,
For the Spirit of the Lord now dwells within,
And with my soul 'tis well.
There's gladness in my heart today,
Which peace and joy impart,
He set me free, He set me free,
I was blind, but hallelujah, now I see!
I shall ne'er forget the day
When He washed my sins away,
And He set, He set me free.
the comforter divine is dwelling
Within my soul today;
His love to others I am telling
Since Jesus came to stay.
The grace of Jesus hath abounded
For all my sins I see,
Salvation walls have me surrounded
From sin I am set free.
Beautiful! Thanks Joy.
