Partakers of Grace

Philippians 1:7 talks about how the Philippians are "partakers of grace" with Paul. I was thinking about this today and wrote the following in my journal:

It is not because of what they've accomplished or what good people they are - it's because they share the common bond of receiving grace. This is the common bond we share as staff. It is definitely not out personalities or "accomplishments" in life that are the same and bring us together. No, the thing that brought us together is Christ's love and His grace by allowing us salvation. The thing that keeps us together is His grace - us not getting what we deserve (in payment for our sins) - His continual grace to us here that we have all been partakers in this summer.

I have definitely received the grace of God this week, through His faithfulness to provide. Update to come! (I have to teach an activity class in 30 seconds!)
