Prevenient Grace
August 29, 2018
DAILY READING
John 15:16-25
This weekend’s reading: Genesis 6:11-22
FIELD NOTES
Prevenient Grace is grace that God bestows on us before we even are aware of who God is or what God does. Prevenient Grace is where God chooses us before we choose to follow God. Prevenient Grace is where God loves us before we love God.
Jesus speaks here about Prevenient Grace. Remember, he says, that he has chosen us, and not the other way around.
We belong to God. We are loved by God before we can even understand what that means. God is working in our lives before we even realize it.
Because we are given this grace, we too should also extend that grace to those around us. Our command is to love one another. May it ever be so.

PRAYER
Lord, may we always remember that you have chosen us first and that your love precedes every other aspect of our lives. May we take that love, and may we share it with one another as you have called us to do. Amen.
