YOUR GRACE IS DIFFERENT.
I' am left startled with knowledge that grace is free, unmerited divine assistance given to human for regeneration or sanctification, undeserved favor, especially of God. I have understood that it's insurmountable and indisputable fact is that āit is not equalā as concern manifestations on human well-being. There is never a guarantee that what works for one would work for another, what another survives, another will and what one succumbs to, another would.
Many are admitted in same hospital, diagnosed of same health challenge, attended to by same medic with same equipments, some die, others survive. Many prepare for same Professional examination, with same materials (books etc.) some pass, others donāt. Many applly for admission including taking part in necessary required examinations, some at the end are admitted, others donāt. Many invest in same business, carrying out required business plans and strategies, some survive with good income, others donāt, perhaps crumble . Many applly for visa at same embassy with perhaps every required particulars, some is given visa at the end of probably a long wait, others denied. Many employed in same company or organization with same qualifications, some are promoted during promotion whiles some remain stagnant at a position most times are not even recognized. Many applly for a particular office as it concerns politics, under go screening and executes campaigns during election, at the end some come out victoriously while others donāt.
John the Revelator refused to die a violent death like other apostles (Rev. 1: 1-20). Paul and Silas survived the accusation of blasphemy and false teaching, but Stephen and John the Baptist did not (Acts 16:37, Acts 7:54-60, Mark 6:14-29). Nineveh was spared from destruction but S***m and Gomorrah were not, both were guilty of same sin- living wickedly. Abraham and Sarah survived the sin of Lying, but Ananias and Sapphira did not (Gen. 20:1-18, Acts 5:1-11). The woman caught in adultery was spared but the Israelite and the Moabite woman were not (John 8:1-11, Num. 25:1-8).
You are different, your story is different and your victory is different. The best life is not an envious and greedy one, rather a contented, faithful, thankful and selfless one in anticipation of more and sufficient grace from God because your grace is different!
