Grace

Rather than thinking, “My sin, my shame, my failure,” she remembered, “His forgiveness, His grace, His life.” -excerpt from “The Grace Awakening” by Charles Swindoll

I have been re-reading the book that God used to show me how much Jesus loves me, to help me break free, and be saved. I heartily recommend reading it, even if, or especially if you have been a Christian for a long time. Grace and grace alone. Jesus and what He did. Him, not me, thank goodness. Praise God for His indescribable gift of freedom and mercy.

Blessings for your day, Lisa

My soul agrees and resonates with the joy in this song. The moment where I knew that Jesus forgave all my sins and set me free was profound. I cried many tears of relief, gratitude, love. Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Jesus came, Jesus comes, Jesus is coming

When I was sinking down with grief, the weight of regret heavy

When I was wandering in darkness, stretching for the light

But thinking the distance was too far

Jesus came, forgave

When I am weary, no strength to find

When I am wondering how we all will survive

Thinking the world is too far gone

Jesus comes, strengthens, reminds

When He knows that the time has come

When He summons His beloveds home

When He appears and the heavens rejoice

Jesus is coming, is redeeming, is forever with us.

Hallelujah! What a Savior.

Blessings, Lisa

Postscript: If you need to know Jesus, find forgiveness, no matter what, read the Bible, start with the book of John. He is there. He will make Himself known to you, and your empty places will be filled. Write to me if you need help in locating a Bible.

Sea of Glass

“Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.” – Revelation 4:6

“…His voice was like the sound of rushing waters.” – Revelation 1:15b

“The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea – the Lord on high is mighty.” – Psalm 93:3-4

Thinking this morning about the utter power and strength and breadth of our God. As there is no holding back the power of the sea, there is no holding back the power of God.

And yet, with all that power is great, compassionate, forgiving, eternal love, shown to us by the great gift of His only Son, Jesus Christ.

“He will again have compassion on us;
He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will cast all their sins
Into the depths of the sea.” – Micah 7:19

“He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
He drew me out of deep waters.” – Psalm 18:16

Praise God for His mercy. Praise Him for His compassion. Praise God for His love. It is what keeps me going and gives me hope each day.

He is so good. Blessings, Lisa
