Great grace was upon all.

Acts 4:33, And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

There was a unit supplied to this first community by the Holy Spirit gives them boldness and also opened their hearts to each other in an amazing outpouring of selflessness. Each looked to the interest of others, not because of the law but because of the love of God poured out in their hearts. We live in a very compartmentalized world today where we may not even know our neighbors well enough that we can even pray for them. We recently discovered that our wonderful next door neighbors have an especially tragic situation with one of their sons, and we can now pray and intercede for him before our God’s amazing throne of grace. Do you know your neighbor well enough to pray for their true needs?

Give us your grace in todays fragment and superficial culture that we may give your testimony with boldness and that your great grace man abound!
