A Spiritual Heart Transplant Grace! The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a grace note. We use the word for hospitals, baby girls, kings and pre-meal prayers. We talk as though we know what grace means. You turn the page of your Bible and look at the words. You might as well be gazing at a cemetery. Lifeless, stony. Nothing moves you. But you don’t dare close the book, no sirree. You dare not miss a deed for fear that God will erase your name. God’s grace has a drenching about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid to die, to ready to fly. As Paul said in Galatians 2:20: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” You might call it a spiritual heart transplant! Max Lucado
