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."

Victory

Daniel 11 v 32b

"...; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."

HALLELUJAH!!!

1 Corinthians 2 v 12

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God."

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL!!!!

1 Corinthians 15 v 57

"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

WOW!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!

Psalm 32 v 8

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye."

THANK YOU DADDY!!!

John 10 v 10b

""...I have come that they may have life, and that they have it more abundantly.""

HOW KIND HE IS!!!!

Jeremiah 33 v 3

"'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'"

WOW!!! HOW EXCITING IS THAT?????

Psalm 138 v 8

"The Lord will perfect (complete) that which concerns me;"

1 Peter 5 v 7

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

HE IS OUR FAITHFUL AND TRUE (Rev 19 v 11)

Remember

While having my quiet time with the Lord this morning, I was thanking Him for the rain. I was writing the 'thank you' note in my diary to Him. Then I realized, I have not thanked Him in my diary lately for the rain. When we had drought and we would have even a sprinkling of rain, I was quick to write and get so excited about it, then when there is plenty, I am almost blasé. 

Is that the same in all areas of our lives. Do we remain thankful?

THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL OUR BLESSINGS!

1 Peter 4 v 7-11

"But the end of all things is a hand; therefore be serious and watchful in our prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."

I encourage you today to open your tap and let His love that is in you, flow out to all around you. People are wearing masks and are hurting, needing the touch from the Lord. He wants to work through you. There is no one in the world like you, God made you totally unique and the way you show His love to others, cannot be done by anyone else.

This is such a short message today but His will.

GO

Go and share His love.
