Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
2 John 1:3
THE TREASURE OF GRACE
Of all of the secrets
Of paradise pleasures
Grace is the most veiled
Of all of God’s treasures
But once grace is confessed
Sweetly upon the ear
Peace enters the heart
Embedding itself near
And love like a songbird
Lib’rated to the sky
Sings oh so sweetly
Salvation’s lullaby
To the toes, to the soul
This joy it suffuses
And quenches the flames
When conscience accuses
This God just so gently
with kindness expressing
His amitied mercy
bestows, sins confessing
So grapple this great hope
With feeble fingers tight
Cling to this treasure
With all of your might
And know if in weakness
To grace you fail to hold
Your Treasure will keep you
purchased, solid as gold

The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. Ephesians 1:14
… And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. …Acts 4:33
Lord Jesus, Satan, sin, and this world hide the greatest of treasures, but you through your word of grace, have graced us with faith to grasp and comprehend such a great grace. May we be found worthy of this treasure now and on the day of your return. In Your sweet name, Lord, Amen.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
