When GRACE calls out


When GRACE calls out

Eph. 2:8-9

For BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [saving is all His idea, and all His work  .  .  all we do is trust Him enough to let Him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish!]

NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast. [we don't play the major role - If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!]
-----------------
Pray the Word:
Lord, GRACE is like a wave of light that breaks into our darkness, dispelling the negative perception we have of ourselves with the mystery and wonder that we really are ACCEPTED BY YOU THROUGH CHRIST  .  .  .  we can’t (and don’t have to) DO anything more, SEEK for something more, PERFORM more diligently, or INTEND anything else – Christ is enough!

†   †   †   †
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away.
It was there, by faith,
I received my sight,
And, now, I am happy all the day

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
