what does grace taste like

Sweet. Lighter than you expect. Refreshing. Hint of strawberry? Maybe. Seems sweet and functional.... like a kit kat? Also made for sharing, just like a kit kat. Thin crispy wafers, bread like...

John 6:48 
I am the bread of life. 

"Gimme a break, 
gimme a break, 
gimme a break of that perfect peace!" 

And so by accepting that free gift that Jesus offers, there is grace enough to cover all the circumstances. Every one. Our human sin nature is a wretched snake to wrestle and the good news is we don't have to go it alone. When you accept Jesus as your Savior (a peice of that kit kat bar) you have access to this awesome power. You are made as new! 

And have access to the power that frees you from the burdens of this world - the Holy Spirit is deposited in each who choose to believe. Oh let those who have ear to listen! 

John 14:27 ESV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

It is acceptance of that free gift where we are actually - simply quite unburdened by many worries of this first earth. Don't forget about His endless love...right behind it, in front it, all over, all the time. 

There is no escape from the relentless pursuit. He will chase us down with His endless and perfect love! As far as you want to run you can't escape. He won't escape you. Run to where? Stop running child. He loves you. 

Oh what a joy it is to be one of his children and be so privileged that we may too cry out “Abba! Father!” 

2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
