>"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2-8:9 ![images.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZaKwQ7opnSrtfmJ6oJywjfwdCqNY4qAu9mXgt9eXJ9PL/images.jpeg) [Photo Source](https://www.google.com.ph/search?client=ms-android-samsung&biw=360&bih=333&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=EIQ7W7DiI8HHrQGF_aKQCA&q=scandalous+grace&oq=scandalous+grace&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..0j0i24l4.3020.11133..11755...1....419.5509.0j15j8j2j1......0....1.......5..35i39j0i67j0i5i30j0i8i30.ZlVZ745UHms.#imgrc=cs_RaMO6Xgc_GM:) Grace is scandalous. It is always given to the wrong person. Harlots recieved a hug from heaven And whores were made whole. Grace is out of logic. It does not ask of anything in return. It gives us more than what we ask for. It is most certainly not contain to any human laws. Grace defies nature. It is a one-way love It works without requiring anything on our part. When we do something good, it is not to obtain Grace, but to respond to it. ![images (2).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNYzkDv932YPoi1S8jGE2XUANZUR3WW3xvtkNfFjWp5WG/images%20(2).jpeg) [Photo Source](https://www.google.com.ph/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsheepofchrist.files.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F08%2Fgiftofgrace.jpg%3Fw%3D750&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsheepofchrist.org%2F2016%2F08%2F05%2Fgods-gift-of-grace%2F&docid=B-DrfaeA4XirZM&tbnid=Frb9d_OMIsc7iM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjTxMnJvoTcAhWI7WEKHXnZBjkQMwisASgKMAo..i&w=750&h=521&client=ms-android-samsung&bih=560&biw=360&q=gift%20of%20grace&ved=0ahUKEwjTxMnJvoTcAhWI7WEKHXnZBjkQMwisASgKMAo&iact=mrc&uact=8) Grace is a gift. It is free but not cheap. It gives us the feeling of security by not removing the danger but by making us stronger. I thank God for this Grace. For I am one of the wrong person to receive it. For I am also given more than what I ask for. For It also made me stronger. Let us accept God's scandalous Grace and we will never be the same again. This is a writing inspired from a book I read entitled Scandalous Grace. ##Keep Loving, *Maye*
