Grace

Thank you so much to everyone who has waited for me to write a post again, and have faithfully checked in to see if there was anything new. I appreciate you, and pray you may be so blessed for loving our Jesus.

Where can we begin to talk about this most wonderful gift called "Grace"???

We can only touch the surface.

Can we fathom how much He loves us to have sent Jesus and to allow Him to go through what He went through for us????

WOW!!!!!

Stop and make time in your day, all through the day to love Him, to thank Him, to picture yourself hugging Him. Yes He is ALL powerful God, but He is also our Abba, Our Daddy.

It has made such a remarkable difference to my life to do this. This is building relationship with Him and this is what it is all about.

John 6 v 29

"Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.""

2 Tim 1 v 9

"who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began."

How AWESOME is that??? Different to what we picture works hey???

As we worship, love, praise, pursue and enjoy our Lord all throughout our day, His purposes and works will flow out of our life from Him in us.

So we don't have to try and generate them ourselves. Out of our lives will flow the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

How glorious is that????

2 Tim 2 v 9

"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."

HALLELUJAH!!!!

Free Gift!

You don't have to pay for it!!!

How many times in life do we hear - "Buy this and you get a free gift"?

There is good news!

One thing in life you don't have to buy or earn.

Our Blessed Salvation through Jesus!!!

Ephesians 2 v 8

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,"

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Romans 5 v 18

"Therefore, as through one man's offence judgement came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life."

Romans 6 v 14

"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."

Thank you Lord for SUCH a precious gift!!!!!

We just have to accept and receive. His sacrifice was more than enough!!!!

Romans 6 v 23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Wow! How Awesome is that????!

Turbulence

The Lord gave me such a lovely picture this morning.

Looking out of my window while having my quiet time, I watched the tree across the road blowing in the wind.

When the wind blows in our lives the dead leaves are removed.

It is good, that when the wind blows we are supple in spirit, mind and body. When one is supple it is much easier to bend and not break, when the push comes.

Romans 12 v 2

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

To be supple it takes stretching in that area.

And I think one of most important things when the wind blows, is to have our roots deep in Him.

Colossians 2 v 6,7

"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving."

Psalm 1 v 3

"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper."

WOW!!!!!!

When the Holy Spirit (Also pictured as wind - but a good Wind), moves us in any direction let us move immediately, bending to His instruction.

1 Corinthians 2 v 4

"And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power,"

What have you got to loose????

What's stopping you???

Instead of being grouchy - 

why not stop and be cheerful???

Instead of murmuring - 

Why don't you try complementing???

Jesus gave up EVERYTHING for us!!!!

We only have this one lifetime.

Make a difference today - just because you can.

Start in your family.

Philippians 4 v 13

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
