Hi there,
How are you?
How's your life going?
What have you been up to?
As my uncle says, how's your walk with God going?
When he asks me that, I tell the truth, because we all stumble, and fall, so this is going to be a personal entry.
I've picked up a book, called, "The freedom diary.'' by Mark Holloway.
And it is freeing, because it is a diary, that God encourages us that we're doing something right.
And other ways we Christians need to do a bit better on.
So in a way, I'm touching on a gray area about Grace.
First of all, what is grace?
Is Grace, that thing that is always there, as a safety blanket, that we use God as a safety net?
we can fall back on?
Should we take grace for granted?
God calls us softly, true he does it in a gentle way, but sometimes he has to change things in our lives, that we need to see for ourselves.
And if we're prentening to be Christians, and we all go with the flow, what happens if we're doing this, and we're going in the wrong direction?
Does Grace, win then?
It takes a little time to recognize that, we're wrong, when we know we're wrong, we come to our knees and know that the spirit of God is coming with his grace, to make it all new again.
We're all being made new, every day, so don't think for a single moment, that you're not perfect, or have made to many mistakes, because that is from the enemy, and he gets stronger every day.
God looks at you, and he looks at you like you're a picture framed to perfection, and he sees that you're good.
That's grace.
However, how do we show grace to others?
We pray, we need to get more down on our knees to pray, and pray in the spirit to be strong, to keep committed to our friends, and to each other.
We pray, and we pray hard, we pray into the things that God tells us to pray into, the things that we forgot that God sees, yes it will hurt, but sometimes it hurts to see the pain, but after the pain, there's healing.
And when we do that, we know that we're forgiven, and we forgive others, rather than hide, away, because our friends can see it, those close to us.
We need friends that stick with us, and those who, break trust, we need those friends that are rock solid, that won't run away when we tell them the truth.
We don't need to be perfect that's Gods Job, but what we really need to do is, have a heart of Grace, and of love, and trust.
If you're feeling that you don't have grace, love or trust, pray, with people that you know, that you can trust, pray into the areas that you need to experience God's love in.
Pray for your friends, who ever comes your way, because they've come to you, because they need to experience Trust, and Grace.
They need to be on your team, and you've got an assignment from God to pray, not to change the world by being a super hero, but to pray under all things.
To lift them up in prayer.
Grace will be there, and the more you experience grace in your life, you'll be changed, not for just today, not tomorrow, but forever.
Chloe
