Grace for me is the fact that Christ loves me even though I am who I am. Definetly something I do not deserve but was given it anyway. Everyday I try to remember that fact.
Grace is the unending, immovable, boundless gift of God that helps me through each and everyday. Grace wakes me in the morning and gives me the strength to carry on.

Grace is knowing that everything will be alright.

Grace…could we live without it? How wonderful that God grants us what we don’t deserve!
To me, grace is Jesus. He suffered the punishment of my sin so that I wouldn’t have to endure it. It doesn’t get much better than that!
What a beautiful giveaway! I am learning that Grace is more than just a gift given by God. Grace is part of the very character of God. It’s just part of who He is.

Grace is my Grandma’s name, my daughter Allison’s middle name and the undeserved love and forgiveness God gives me every day. I LOVE Lisa’s jewelry and your blog.
Grace, to me, is God’s unmerited favor, raining down on me, washing me, cleansing me. Oh how I need it!
Such an excellent answer, Shelly.
Grace means I don’t have to beat myself up for my sin because God doesn’t.
GRACE is ~ God holding me when I had no strength to hold on to Him after my son died
Grace, to me, means literally everything. Salvation only comes thru His loving Grace extended. Grace grants us another chance daily as our sinful lives/thoughts/actions rear themselves over and over. Grace reminds me to love others who are as imperfect in their actions toward me as I am. My daughter’s middle name is Grace…with her first name coming from the strongest Christian woman (my mother) mentor in my life. My intent as a mother…was to give my daughter a strong beginning and purpose thru that name. Grace, grace….God’s grace. If you haven’t heard it, look up BeBe and CeCe Winans song Grace. Love it!
Grace is God’s love. Grace is His love that took up my sins. Grace is undeserving. He doesn’t love us because we deserve His love, He simply loves because it’s who He is. Grace has won my battles.
Grace is God seeing who I am and loving me anyway.
Grace, and its undeserved nature, is one of the most beautiful gifts we can receive. Through and because of God’s grace, we are then given so much more. Grace makes me cry, smile, and praise all at once.

Thank you for this kind opportunity!
The first thing that pops into my mind is the saying, “Grace is God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.” But, in personal application, grace is freedom for myself and other’s not to have to be perfect and patience with myself and them. Or my book answer is, “unmerited or undeserved favor.” 🙂 (Can you tell I have a hard time answering questions with a simple, single answer? ) 😉
My family has a long history of being involved in a very legalistic religion. I’m so thankful my grandfather and my own dad were able to find grace and that I was able to grow up free from all of that. It was amazing to watch my grandfather find freedom near the end of his life and watch him walk in grace. It taught me so much.
I’m also just so thankful for the grace Jesus covers my life with. I’m so thankful He covers where I fail.
Thank you so much for a great giveaway! I love this necklace and would be so excited to win. Happy New Year! : )
I just Tweeted the giveaway.
Grace is God’s love. Something I don’t deserve but given to me anyway.
Grace is what I try to show my children and what they return to me when I am not the perfect Mom. Grace is what we all need. Grace is what makes a family stronger.
Grace is me not getting what I deserve…eternal separation from God because of my sin…grace is God seeing Christ’s righteousness instead of my unrighteousness… Here are more of my thoughts on grace…
