Scripture
That is the way we should live, because God’s grace has come. That grace can save everyone. It teaches us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. It teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way—a way that shows true devotion to God. – Titus 2:11-12 ERV

In one of the most acclaimed literary works of all time, Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel Les Miserables, we see the power and lasting effects of grace in a man’s life. The story takes place in France in the late 1700s. An ex-convict named Jean Valjean steals valuable silverware from a bishop’s home where he was spending the night.
When Valjean is captured by the police and brought back to the bishop’s home the next morning, the bishop tells the police to release Valjean as the silverware had been a gift to him. Valjean is greatly surprised. As the police free him, the bishop hands him a set of silver candlesticks and admonishes Valjean for having forgotten to take them with him. At this, Valjean is stunned. The bishop has his undivided attention. The bishop, showing Valjean how grace can change a life, says, “Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good.”
Valjean goes on to become a kind, humble, forgiving, and caring man, showing how grace taught him to live a life of dignity and service to others.
How has the grace of God changed our lives and taught us to live a life of divine love and generosity for Him? How does the grace of God teach us to show love and grace to others, even those who’ve deeply hurt us or taken from us?
