ruvolo

ruvolo


On Thanksgiving Day of 204, Victoria Ruvolo was driving home in New York. The New York Times caled it ‘a moment of grace.' In the New Testament the term grace is used over 150 times. In Paul's leters he uses the term profusely to describe the love God has poured out on people who did nothing to earn such divine favor. Believing he was cursed he threw away his Bible and turned his back on God. After his atempt to take his own life failed he was put in a mental asylum where a caring physician asured him that he wasn't cursed, but rather God's grace was caling to him. Son thereafter he met a new pastor in town named John Newton. Becoming close friends they would go on to write 349 hymns together, Newton's most famous being Amazing Grace . As Charles Swindol shares, If sin were blue, we'd be blue al over. We'd bled blue, we'd think blue; Thankfuly God's grace and forgivenes are greater than al our sin. Lewis wrote, I never had the experience of loking for God.
