We know God as being all powerful. He chooses to use His power by generously showering us with gifts and gracious. These give us the power to seek and obtain holiness so that we may be worthy of entering his Kingdom. This generosity is given to us in many ways. Some are given to all of us while others are specific to His creative plan to each individual. Write in a single page essay, no less than 1/2 page in length how God gives power to us.
