Grace Rewires Your Heart
Grace. The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a grace note. We use the word for hospitals, baby girls, kings and pre-meal prayers. We talk as though we know what grace means.
You turn the page of your Bible and look at the words. You might as well be gazing at a cemetery. Lifeless, stony, nothing moves you. But you don’t dare close the book, no sirree. You dare not miss a deed for fear that God will erase your name.
If that’s your feeling, grace can speak to you. God’s grace has a drenching about it. It comes after you. It re-wires you. From insecure to God-secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid to die to ready to fly. As Paul said in Galatians 2:20 (NKJV), “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” You might call it a heart transplant.
祂要被看見

假如神呼召你去傳福音，然後跟你說，你傳福音不會有人相信。你還會去嗎？摩西就是碰到了這樣的處境，神叫他去見法老，而且神還要用大能的手幫忙，但是埃及王法老也還是不會聽摩西的，也不會讓以色列人離開。假如你是摩西，你會接這樣的差事嗎？
當神呼召摩西時，祂就說了： 「我知道雖用大能的手，埃及王也不容你們去。我必伸手在埃及中間施行我一切的奇事，攻擊那地，然後他才容你們去。我必叫你們在埃及人眼前蒙恩，你們去的時候就不至於空手而去。(出3:19-21)」事情不容易，但是神有應許。
馬禮遜宣教士到中國時才22歲，他抱著這樣的信念：「求上帝將我置於困難最多，和從人類眼光中看來最難成功之佈道區域中」來到中國。果然，他做了十年，才有一個人相信耶穌。
