Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.
words by Julia H. Johnston
Have you ever had one of those singular moments when God seemed so incredibly near and he was speaking so powerfully and profoundly that from that moment on your life was never the same?
Hopefully all of us can point to the moment we received Christ and claim a moment like that. But what about at other times in your journey with him? Have you ever been moved that deeply and irrevocably?
For me, one of those moments was during a conference for Christian CEOs and business owners in Dallas, TX. At that time, God had been moving powerfully in my life for several months and was restoring my sense of calling to service in a number of ways. One of those ways was through the ministry of a group called TrueFaced out of Phoenix, AZ. They have a really unique presentation of the gospel of grace and it spoke to me in so many healing and restorative ways. When I found out that one of their founders, John Lynch, was going to be speaking at the conference, I was looking forward to meeting him and hearing his presentation.
Now the interesting thing was that I had heard John on video many, many times and even shared that video presentation with others as I began to awake to a new appreciation of grace in my life. So when he started in that night in Dallas, there was nothing really new in what he had to say, but as he went along my heart began to be overwhelmed within me. By the time he was finished I was weeping uncontrollably at my table...a table filled with some very successful businessmen and their spouses!
Now please understand, this was not one of those 'a tear came to my eye' kind of times. No, this was one of those tears flowing like Niagara Falls, nose running like crazy, burying-my-face-in-my-napkin,sobbing-from-the-depths-of-my-being, never-let-this-moment-end, kind of times. And I have not been the same since! God got a hold of me in a fresh new way that evening and I would like to share the presentation that changed my life with you in this video of John's presentation. It not the greatest quality, but I trust it will move you as it did me.
