Grace and hope

Grace and hope

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible. Matt 19:26

God's Grace makes everything possible. It is our hope, our salvation and our lifeline. 

It is so important to cling to God's Grace when we feel hopeless. His Grace will see us through. 

It will heal.

It will replace pain and fill you up with hope. 

It will empower you. 

God's Grace is our passport to Hope.

Pray for it now to change your life.

Father, through your Grace heal me, my life and the sins that pull me down. 

Bring me into your presence. 

Father, may your Grace fill me with joy and understanding.

Bring me into your presence.

Father, may your Grace release me from my burdens.

Bring me into your presence.

Father, may your Grace fill me with laughter and peace.

Bring me into your presence.

Father, fill me with your Grace and overwhelm me with your hope.

Bring me into your presence.

Father, without your Grace I am nothing.

Bring me into your presence.

Father, fill my family with your Grace.

Bring me into your presence. 

Come Lord Jesus, the Grace of the Father and make Your home in me.

Amen.

Prayer 6 - Do you grasp those moments of joy?

Prayer 6

Do you grasp those moments of joy?...

Do you cherish those moments of joy, or do you miss their presence?

They can be fleeting in a busy life where stress is rife.

Take time to grasp this beautiful sense of relief. 

It is God given, receive it and thank Him for the moment.

He wants you to embrace joy.

“And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful. Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it. Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 8:32-35 (NLT)

He loves you.

God bless,

God loves us no matter what we have done - FACT

When I feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts there is nothing more comforting than looking at Jesus upon the cross. Why? Because that is the beginning of everything. From the cross Jesus rose again and took my sins with him. He cleansed me, gave me hope and filled me with joy. A joy that knows, no matter what, Jesus, God in human form, loves me, an unworthy fool. 

This knowledge takes my breath away. It has me on my knees. 

GOD LOVES ME.

He did this tremendous deed for me.

He embraced my sin, my folly, my selfishness. 

The Creator of the world died for me so that I could be re-united with him. 

God wants me back in the fold. His love is so enormous, larger than the universe and He wants me to be part of it. 

If you ever say you are not worthy, remember who loves you, who made you. God thinks you are incredible, worth dying for. Breath that truth in. It is awesome. 

"God showed us how much He loved us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sin." I John 4:9 –10

"So we praise God for the wonderful kindness He has poured out on us because we belong to His dearly loved Son. He is so rich in kindness that He purchased our freedom through the blood of His Son, and our sins are forgiven." Ephesians 1:6-7

"For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." II Corinthians 5:21

Sinless took our sin because of love. This is our example.

Do I reflect this love, do you?
