Grace

I often struggle to comprehend the word Grace. I know it means to forgive, but it has to have more of a definiton. This is how the Dictionary defines Grace,
a. Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people.
b. The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God.
c. An excellence or power granted by God
Grace often confuses me so much because I don't understand how Jesus loved us that much to die drastically on the cross. Like, I love my parents but I don't think I would die so severely for them. Jesu was so humble that he gave us an opportunity, even though we were so dirty and so selfish to him he gave us life. He renewed our inmost being that we can be free! He removed our chains and brought us to life. A friend once told me that, "once you don't understand grace, you understand grace." Confusing right? But totally true! Because once I didn't understand Grace I asked God to help me understand it and that's when I understood the fullness of the word Grace.

These are the little things that pass through my mind everyday.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
