The Red Carpet Of Grace

Reading Time: 2 Minutes

June of 2020, the Lord gave me an illustration for whenever grace needs to be extended to anyone. I thought I would share it with you. It is the idea of a red carpet, like those rolled out for important people to walk on.

Roll Out The Red Carpet

The red carpet of God’s grace is drenched in the Blood of Jesus. It is the path He has paid for us walk on. He has forgiven us of our sins and this is the narrow road He requires us to walk on. We must not step off of it to the left or to the right. As He has extended this red carpet of grace for us, we must also extend it to everyone everywhere. We roll it out for our brothers and sisters in Christ as well as for those who do not yet know Jesus’ love.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 NIV

Creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Honor others above yourself.
As God loved us, we must love one another.
Everyone will know that we belong to Jesus, if we love one another.

Imagine!

Imagine the earth covered in the red carpet of God’s grace! So, next time you feel a “less than graceful” attitude toward someone, Thank the Lord for the grace He rolled out for you and do this: In your heart, imagine a roll of red carpet and roll it out for that person. You will feel burdens fall off your shoulders and your heart lift a little higher as you follow His lead. I believe you will even feel a little lighter on your feet, walking on God’s red carpet of Grace!
