Its All Grace Stupid!

What will you today?

You have the grace of God in Christ to do as you wish, so what will you today?

You are allowed to love now, to care. You are free to share the love of God with others. You are free to enjoy a meal to His eternal glory.

What will you do today?

You may spend the day in respite and the night in entertainment.

What will you do?

Do as you please, for the world does not turn because you tell it to. It does not await your permission to follow its destiny. The sun has no need of your worry, it keeps hot well without you.

What will you do today?

I read last night, research finds that a person too focused on their goals may increase chances of never achieving them. For gym going individuals, those asked to focus on the experience of working out rather than their specific exercise goals fared better than their comrades. They ran longer, complained less and enjoyed more.

Are you afraid to enjoy your life? People? The future? The past? The tasks ahead of you? Give them to Jesus, by admitting you have no control (Matthew 6:27).

Attempts to control our faith stem from nothing short of attempts to control our lives. God'S grace frees us to step out of His way and let Him work in and through us.

Grace frees us to truly experience and enjoy our salvation, it is so nice to discover. I have been loving and sharing with people lately that I would not chosen, but God's grace has selected them for me.

It doesn't feel like it did when I tried so hard to be holy in the past. I feel freer now, looser now.

Thank You Jesus for the grace to receive your grace.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
--1 Corinthians 15:10-11
