Grace is getting what you don’t deserve, and mercy is not getting what you do deserve
Ever wondered about the difference between getting and receiving? This episode of Hope, Healing & Freedom dives into this intriguing topic, exploring how actively receiving can transform your life. Lee Whitman from Restoring the Foundations International takes you on a journey through biblical teachings and personal anecdotes to highlight the power of receiving. He shares a heartwarming story from Joyce Meyer, who used a simple gift-giving exercise to illustrate how children naturally receive with joy and without hesitation.
Whitman contrasts this with the 'greatest generation', who believed in hard work and self-reliance, and today's entitlement mindset, which can hinder our relationship with God. By weaving in his own experiences, like receiving a suit from church members, Whitman illustrates the beauty of accepting grace and mercy. He emphasises that while grace is getting what we don't deserve, mercy is not getting what we do deserve.
The episode encourages you to move beyond a sense of entitlement and actively participate in your sanctification process. With biblical references and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual journey. Ready to receive what’s truly yours? Tune in and find out how.
