When you are at peace in God's grace, you can distribute it to others as a faithful steward. This is at the heart of true Christian fellowship.

Fellowship is more than shaking hands and chatting—much more. It is becoming involved with the situations people are facing.

In Acts 2:42 we have a revealing glimpse of the emerging Church and the priorities of its people:

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
(Acts 2:42 NKJV)

Fellowship is involvement. It is literally partnership and participation. One person joins with another to stand with him and see a situation turned around.

You can impart the grace within you to lift those you meet:

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
(Eph. 4:29 NKJV)

Your words will carry the grace deposited in you and plant it in the heart of the one with whom you come in fellowship.

The more you nurture the grace and gifts you have received, the greater your impact will be and the broader your influence will become. Your service to God will become evident in your serving His grace to those around you.

Let God's grace be established in your heart, and you will be free to flourish.
