Through God’s grace, I am accepted and loved in every moment..
During my time in the silence, I reflect on what it means to be blessed by God’s grace. I know that I am a child of God, and as such, God accepts me, loves me, and cares for me in every moment. I am a unique being, shining my inner light, held in the nucleus of God’s evolving universe.
Just as God’s grace is sufficient for me, it is also sufficient for each and every one of God’s creations. I bless all the people with whom I share this planet, knowing that each one on earth has been given the gift of God’s grace that I treasure.
With this expanded understanding of God’s grace, I experience a sense of unparalleled joy, wonder, and love. Through God’s grace, we are continually blessed, and in this knowledge, I find great joy and peace.
“If it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”—Romans 11:6


Do you understand Grace and is it evident in your life?

Do you struggle with always trying to do things Right, so you can be "good enough", or not committing "sin", so as to obtain Favor?

now, HL....you know you and I don't agree on the faith issue, but I dropped in here to say that I do admire your strong will and your ability to write.

I don't struggle to do right to gain favor.....I do right to show my children and those around me how to act and how to live out their lives, and that yes, I am a good person--not for what I believe, but through what I do.



See.....didn't attack ya.....devil

Thanks for extending GRACE my way, Goose tongue

And I am sure that daily, you extend much GRACE towards your children. You love them unconditionally, just because they are yours.

Appreciate your comment, Thank YOU Goose! thumbs up

The grace of God is one of the most wonderful mysteries in our world. It is only by this grace that we are saved. It is the greatest thing bestowed to us by God. It is greater even than love, because it is by grace that we are saved. Unmerited favor. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 Grace is God demonstration of His love for us. blushing

It is impossible to completely fathom the depths of the grace of God.

It is as Paul says: “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Romans 1:18

Do we even try to understand it?

This I know, the more I understand God’s grace toward me, the more I love Him.

MikeHD:

Yes Mike, so true, so true!

He who has been forgiven much, loves much!

Such a wretched creature I was. Changed into His likeness by His LOVE! He has forgiven me for ALL I have done or ever will do. His Grace and Mercy follow me, chasing me, catching me, to bestow themselves all over me for ALL the days of my life!!! WOW! That's exciting!

I have found that in times when I have created my biggest errors, mercy and grace came a running in a gave me my biggest Underserved BLESSINGS!!! If that doesn't show you that you're LOVED... Nothing will.
