And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Christ’s extension of grace to us is so overwhelming when we truly see it and ourselves for what it is. God gave us his ONLY begotten son, knowing what we would choose to do with him, but still He wanted to make sure we had the opportunity to choose for ourselves.
God in all His goodness gave us a precious and valuable gift through his son Jesus and we fail to see His grace for what it truly is…..
Gods hand extended in love reaching out to save us.
The daily grind and trials we face consume our hearts and minds that we fail to see the needs of those around us. Our world suffers friend. Our neighbors suffer.
We and when I say we I speak of myself as well. I fail to see the individual value of my friends and neighbors. God places you where you are for a reason.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you. I appointed you to the nations”. Jeremiah 1:5
Just as God appointed Jeremiah, He appoints each of us for a very specific purpose. You are valued and loved by God himself. The God who spoke everything you see around you into existence and yet paused to make man in His image.
We are His image bearers. Your identity alone comes from God. Sure, you have your mom’s eyes or your dad’s nose, but you are a living breathing soul and that alone is of God.
The very 1st breath may have started with Adam but that is the very same breath that lives in each of us today.
Grace defined is getting something that you do not deserve. I did not deserve the opportunity that Christ afforded me. He paid my price for my sins and suffered for the things that I did, and for that I am eternally grateful.
I owe my Jesus everything and more. He rescued me from the fire. I thank him daily for another day of life. Another opportunity to fulfill my purpose in Him.
In all simplicity, He simply asks that I in turn share His truth and extend that very same hand of Grace. Some days I do better than others. I like most struggle with being consumed by my personal trials, but I’ve found that if I’m seeking for an opportunity God never fails to provide it.
This world offers nothing for those lost and unaware of where to find the truth, and we alone hold the truth in our hearts.
Never forget to remember the ones in prayer that searched and took hold of their opportunity to bring the Gospel (The Good News) to you. They sought after their purpose for the day and extended that grace so that you could have the opportunity to take hold of it in faith and have the strength to walk on with God.
This blog is my way of extending to those in need. Hear me my friend. God loves you. He loved you so much that He gave his only begotten son (John 3:16). If you had been the only one, He still would have died just for you. Why? Because without the grace of God you would be separated from Him for all eternity.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
For those who answered the call and spoke of God’s love for me, delivering the Good News. You know who you are, and I thank God for you.
42 years I’ve been walking my path with God. I’ve taken a detour here and there thinking I knew better than Him, but I’ve grown from every mistake and learned from every lesson and my goal is a better version of myself for every day of life He continues to give me.
I want to take as many with me as I can for God because make no mistake the devil knows his mission.
He roams this earth seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8).
For those of you who are uncertain of where you will spend eternity. You can always respond with a message on my blog and let me know of your need.
Remember to always: Love God, Value Others and Improve Yourself .
In Christian Love
