Overview

In Victim of Grace, bestselling author Robin Jones Gunn takes a deeply personal look at the mystery of God working in our lives in ways we can't see. No matter what obstacles, heartaches, or difficulties have assailed us, we are not at the mercy of circumstances. We are victims of his grace.

Publishers Description

Robin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as from the lives of women in the Bible as she flips the notion that we are at the mercy of circumstances. She asks, what if God has dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the midst of shattered hopes? When life doesn't go as expected, it's easy to feel like a victim. We look at the events that have gone wrong and view our lives as impaired. What if we could see our future as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we understood we are indeed victims rather than of happenstance? God, the Relentless Lover, has vigorously sought you. He has instilled dreams in your heart that are grander than you can imagine. But the route to their fulfillment often is through a path you wouldn't seek. What if God wants to take the hopes that tug at your heart and enliven them? Are you ready to live inside the mysterious joy of being a victim of grace?

Angel Wings by Paj for Mom

"For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.”

In Greek “put up with” most likely means to patiently provide for people’s needs despite an ungrateful response.

 

Some people may not react favorably to our efforts to show care and concern. When this happens, it may help to remember that God is patient with us. And He has given us His Spirit to help us respond with love to those who are hard to love or who are ungrateful. – April 25, 2013 Our Daily Bread.

How long has your Momma had to put up with you?

Every Friday night my husband and I hang out in Fells Point because this is what we enjoy doing for our date night. We love to hang out on the boardwalk because the atmosphere is wonderful and we enjoy the water as well as the people. During the course of the evening, a rose peddler interrupted our date temporarily to persuade my husband to buy a me a rose. My husband, not wanting to disappoint the peddler, complied and purchased three beautiful long stemmed red velvet roses. I was pleasantly surprised and instantly delighted.

The scent of the roses were very potent and heady. Not only were they beautiful to behold but the scent alone quickly changed and charged the atmosphere. I began to look at the roses symbolically and I was suddenly reminded of the trinity, The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I didn’t share that revelation with my husband but I did reveal to him that ironically I suddenly remembered that I was actually carrying a one-quarter ounce bottle of ‘Rose of Sharon” anointing oil. We proceeded to anoint ourselves with the Rose of Sharon anointing oil and became saturated with the scent of Roses. OMG the feeling was indescribable. I never realized that the scent of a rose could be so euphoric.

As we were bathing in the essence of the Roses I was reminded of The Song of Solomon 2:1 that says “I am the Rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valley.” I found out that the Sharon was a plain, a level tract extending from the Mediterranean to the hill country to the west of Jerusalem. This plain called Sharon was celebrated for its beauty and fertility. The rose that is spoken of is actually being celebrated in Song of Solomon because the flower is being described as the beauty of a young woman.

I did a little research and found out that a red rose is the external symbol of love. Love, desire and passion are closely associated with the red rose. The meaning of the rose must be true because the experience left us feeling alive and one with God. If you are ever feeling alone and depressed take a whiff of a red rose and it will turn your world upside right!

This experience reminded me of another scripture that rings true today, when the Lord said "I will never leave you nor forsake you"-Hebrews 13:5. In the midst of every evil and ugly thing that is happening in these last days, God is still forever present. I believe that He is the Rose of Sharon. He wanted my husband and I to know that He still loves us, and I mean ALL OF US!
