Grace Receiver?

In Genesis Chapter 4 we see a Grudge Keeper, however we also see a Grace Receiver.  Cain holds a grudge against his brother because of his own improper offering and sacrifice. He does not come to God in humbleness, and humility to understand his wrong actions and seek God's guidance in His way and not Cains way.

God comes to Cain and tries to reason with him.  He tries to get Cain to humble himself and approach the LORD with reverence, understanding He has set an order and a proper way.  But Cain would have nothing of it and eventually winds up murdering his brother.  But then something miraculous happens. Even tho Cain has messed up, then not sought God in humility, but rather rises up and murders his brother, God still gives him GRACE.  He was still a Grace receiver!  I wonder if he ever finally understood this or did he live the rest of his life in condemnation and guilt?

I stopped by today to tell you, it doesn't matter what you have done, or where you have been, God's Grace is sufficient  and His mercy endures forever!  Won't you stop holding onto condemnation and guilt, and begin to walk in His Grace today?  After all He died so you could live!
