What happens when grace crashes into a hardened heart? Day 90 of our spiritual journey takes us deep into the transformative power described in 2 Timothy 1:9-10, where we discover grace revealed through Jesus Christ with enough power to completely reshape our lives.
The story of Jean Valjean from Les Misérables serves as our perfect illustration. When the bitter ex-prisoner steals from the very bishop who offered him shelter, he receives not punishment but more silver and a second chance. This extravagant, unexpected grace shatters his defenses and leads him to dedicate his life to others. As theologian E. Stanley Jones reminds us, "Grace binds you with a far stronger cord than the cords of duty or obligation"—a truth that resonates through every genuine spiritual transformation.
My own moment of grace came during a Promise Keepers Conference, where 65,000 men erupted in a 10-minute ovation for pastors and youth pastors. Overwhelmed by this display of affirmation and support, I fell to my knees and promised God my very best. These moments of grace—whether through a silver candlestick or a stadium experience—reveal how God has been working before time began and continues working through eternity. Let His extravagant grace overwhelm and transform you today as you listen to this meditation on divine mercy that calls us deeper into relationship and service. Ready to feel inspired? Join me for just four minutes of spiritual refreshment that might change your entire perspective on grace.
