2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV

There is something absolutely enjoyable when we are experiencing a life of grace. God is able to make all grace abound to you.  We live relaxed, refreshed and renewed so that good works (kindness, patience, gentlness, love and joy) are expressions of who we are because of God’s grace in Jesus Christ in us. So that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Wow!  Talk about being renewed, how about actually living in a place, no matter where we are found, where life is expressed without condemnation of any kind.  Grace puts a smile in what we say and in what we do.

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward, but the LORD looks at the heart.  1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

One of the beautiful things along our journey through life is when we feel something with all the emotion of our heart.  This is not an academic statement, it is something that touches the very fiber of our being.  The beauty of God's grace is that it takes our belief in the Lord Jesus the Christ from believing into a relationship with him that touches the very soul of who we are.  Grace impacts our heart like nothing else can and in this place our desires and emotions become free to express and receive  love, kindness and encouragement without the feeling of embarrassment.  Here our marriage, our children and our relationships are refreshed in ways that cause us to praise and give thanks to the Lord.  On this new day that has been given to you as a gift from the Lord, may you enjoy this freedom of his grace.  May your heart be refreshed and encouraged along this new journey and may he then give to you the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in his grace.  In this place there is no regret or sorrow.  Enjoy!

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.  He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.  When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 NLT

Sometimes in the journey of our life things happen that cause our thinking and our emotions a lot of pain.  When this happens it seems so natural for stress to begin to take over our thinking, our feelings and even our sleep.  This natural stress never seems to bless us or change our circumstances.  But God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.  It is through his grace that he reveals his love and encouragement to us in some of the most difficult times.  His comfort (grace) begins to renew our thinking and our emotions which brings a sense of peace in difficult times.  On this new day let His grace (comfort) through faith have its beautiful way with the details of your life.  Comfort is yours and when enjoyed, allows you the joy of blessing others where ever you find them.  Your life will be the visible actions of his encouragement, his kindness and his comfort and all this will bless your socks off.  Enjoy!

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:16,17 NIV

One of the great benefits of God's grace is that it gives us the ability to relax and rejoice all at the same time. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! Living overwhelmed by his grace gives us better hearing, of what is really around us and much better vision as to the situations we are walking through.  Grace changes are values and choices which automatically impact our attitude for the day we find ourselves in.  Living in a grace condition removes fears, anxiety and much of our mis-trust about others.  It gives the freedom to know that our Lord is involved in the smallest details of our journey and therefore we do not need to be anxious or irritated so easily and we can enjoy encouraging others along their journey as we have been encouraged by our Lord.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  On this new day let his grace be precious to you and enjoy his attitude of kindness as it will be expressed through you.  You will be pleased at the way you process info and so will those around you.  This is a good day to smile and give thanks to the one who has overwhelmed you with his kindness and enjoy his thoughts, bringing praise and refreshment through you. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!  Enjoy!

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live.  I will praise my God to my last breath! May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.  Let all that I am praise the LORD.  Psalm 104:33 - 35 NLT

Something happens to us when the Lord is not just a thought or some kind of belief system within us.  When his grace touches our lives we begin a relational journey with him that impacts our goals, our desires, our thinking and our emotions. His grace brings our soul to life just as yeast would impact dough. Once the yeast has been put into the dough, the dough will never be the same. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live.  I will praise my God to my last breath! So is the grace that is given in and through Jesus the Christ. Grace begins the journey of enjoying the Lord and its by-products impact our family, our friends and our community.

I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.  I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 

Philemon 5, 6 NIV

One of the magnificent wonders of God’s grace is his giving of a living faith.  It is not a belief system or set of standards by which we judge ourselves as well as others.  But a faith that lives in us and can be recognized as a love for people.  This faith is very real, in fact it is called – Your Faith.

If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O LORD, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness. Psalm 130:3,4

Sometimes in our life, we become record keepers of others sins and even our own sins.  In this condition forgiveness is hard to ask for and even harder to give.  Our emotions seemed to be overwhelmed with all the wrong memories.

If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened' but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.  Praise be to God , who has not rejected my prayer or witheld his love from me.  

Psalm 66:18-20 NIV

Grace is God’s gift to us so that sin no longer has the power to destroy our emotions, our intellect or our relationships.  Sin in all its forms brings about a condemnation concerning ourselves and others, therefore our prayers, our desires and our goals in that condition are not listened to by our Lord.  In the beauty of grace I will not cherished sin in my heart,  grace brings life that is the freedom to live without fear, without bitterness, without regret towards ourselves and those around us. But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. This freedom releases the fragrance of grace so that we, as well as those who know us, experience the wonderful sensations of joy, encouragement and all kinds of blessings.  Today may all the freedoms of his grace bring to you the joy of praise, the joy of thanksgiving and even the joy of delighting.  Let his love overwhelm you in how you see yourself and it will naturally flow through you to everyone around you.  This is a very good new day; our Lord loves the sound of your voice. Enjoy!

My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:7, 8 

Many times along our journey we will have situations arise that are less than outstanding, in fact they are downright difficult.  We wonder what others are thinking about us or if only we had made a better decision or maybe if we only had the freedom of more money we could finally sense some personal satisfaction.  Well, God’s grace found through Jesus the Christ is much more powerful, much more refreshing and much more renewing than anything else.  My salvation and my honor depend on God. It is the truth that freedom emotionally and intellectually is in that life that is called eternal.  Here faith is not a belief system, it is a confidence in God that releases thanksgiving and praise right in the middle of life’s storms.  Today has been given to you, may you know for sure that your salvation, your honor and your freedom are secure in the grace of Christ.  A refuge is a place of blessing and your refuge is not in a location, it is in the very life of God.  Pour out your heart to him and get ready to rejoice.  Enjoy!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him, praise his name. Psalm 100:4 NIV

Our natural nature is birthed in feelings of condemnation concerning others and ourselves.  In that condition we can find ourselves easily annoyed, irritated, criticized and at times embarrassed.  When living like that, giving thanksgiving and praise is something to do and it feels like it is just one more task along our journey.  Grace changes the entire situation.  It puts God's love right into the center of our lives and changes our values.  In grace praising his name is not one more thing to do, it is who we are.  Living our journey in thanksgiving and praise to our Lord lets us encourage, bless, be considerate and esteem others as more important than ourselves.  Today, may you absolutely enjoy his grace that has set you free from the condemnation of your old nature.  Go ahead and enter his gates, his grace will renew your emotions and let thanksgiving and rejoicing be your gift to those who come into contact with you today.  Enjoy!

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  For God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:6,8 NIV

Sometimes there just seems to be so many emotional storms through life.  If I was just a little older, if I was just a little younger, if I was just a little thinner, if I just was a little heavier, if I just was married, if I just felt important.  These are moments where condemnation and what we know as peer pressure arise and many times begin to direct the course of our lives in ways that are less than stellar.  But in the midst of all the details of our lives God demonstrates his love for us, (While we were still sinners, Christ died for us,) right where we are, usually not right where we want to be.  If in your life you have ever felt powerless, ungodly or what can be known as a sinner, know it this place Jesus the Christ gives you his grace, which is his love without any condemnation of any kind.  May your new day be filled with his love, his kindness, his delight and his blessing.  You are either a man or woman of God because of the grace in Jesus the Christ.  You are no longer powerless, you are no longer ungodly.  In fact you are now the demonstration of the blessing of God to your family, your friends and your neighbors. It is the right time to enjoy! 

He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the LORD require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.  Micah 6:8

Sometimes through our journey in this life we find ourselves thinking life is much more complicated than it was intended to be.  Let’s just suppose the grace of God in Jesus the Christ is real and is not that complicated.  Here in his grace there is no condemnation of any kind, no bitterness of any kind, no resentment of any kind and no mistrust of any kind.  Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly. His grace gives a beautiful voice to mercy and faith so we may begin to live life in a freedom that can be called joyful.  So on this new day that has been given to you as a gift, relax in the beauty of his grace and mercy.  Let your thinking and emotions enjoy your life in him without fear or anxiety.  There is a natural fragrance that will be yours in the grace and mercy of our Lord, it is called thanksgiving.  Everyone around you will be blessed because you are now the expression of his grace and mercy.  Enjoy!

So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work.  Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God.  For who can eat and enjoy anything apart from him? Ecclesiastes 2:24, 25 NIV

He gives us taste buds to enjoy and delight in eating and drinking.  He gives us vision and hearing to enjoy and delight in his creation.  He gives us his grace so that we may enjoy and delight in a relationship with him and others without feelings of insecurity.  What happens in the noise and busyness of our time is that we have a tendency to forget that his grace is relational and refreshing.  In those moments we forget who he is and who we are in him. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God. On this new day may you find yourself choosing to enjoy what is around you with a heart of thanksgiving to the Lord.  Go ahead and bless everyone that you come in contact with and your life will be a beautiful fragrance that brings delights to those around you.  Enjoy!

GOD SAVED YOU BY HIS GRACE THROUGH FAITH.  AND YOU CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS;  IT IS A GIFT FROM GOD.  SALVATION IS NOT A REWARD FOR THE GOOD THINGS WE HAVE DONE, SO NONE OF US CAN BOAST ABOUT IT.  EPHESIANS 2:8,9 NLT

Whatever may be true about sin and whatever has happened to all of us because of it, God has done infinitely greater by his grace through Jesus the Christ. God saved you by His grace through faith.  Where sin increased with all its forms of condemnation, right there grace overwhelmed with joy and freedom.  Grace is the power of God’s love given to us all in and through Jesus the Christ.  It is only grace that could make sin yield.  The result of faith upon our life is grace and therefore grace becomes the first result of the new life bestowed.  Here the healing from all our condemnation begins.  This really is a gift worth opening, it will refresh your life forever.   On this new day know that you are free to enjoy being loved, valued and honored because of God’s grace.  Here your heartaches have a place to be made whole; your past will no longer be the ruin of today.  You might just find yourself smiling right down to the depth of your soul.  God’s freedom of grace is yours, enjoy!

Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.  Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.  Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law.  Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.  Romans 6:12-14 NLT

Here is the freedom of God’s salvation. Sin is no longer your master. Legal obedience was never the condition for our salvation or freedom.  God never saved us by law. What the requirements of the law had to do with our salvation was to provide the way for sin to express itself so that we might see our condition and enter into the life of God’s grace through Jesus the Christ.  You live under the freedom of God's grace. In this place condemnation leaves the room because salvation has nothing to do with human merit, it is given in the freedom of God’s grace.  God never withholds grace because of sin; in fact grace is the infinite flow of perfect love.  On this new day may you celebrate the freedom of grace in your desires, your emotions and your conclusions.  Grace will and has provided the way for all wounds to be healed so that you may enjoy the beauty of who you are in and through Jesus the Christ.  Rejoicing, peace and encouragement are yours know and forever.  Enjoy!

The beauty of the life that is given to us in Jesus the Christ is a freedom to rejoice and relax in the midst of our journey.  He will keep you strong to the end.  The power of his grace is that we will be in his presence someday and in that place we will be blameless because of Christ, So that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. This being true, for God cannot lie, lets us encourage instead of being irritated.  Bless instead of cursing, trust instead of being suspicious.  The joy of knowing we are blameless because of the grace of Jesus, is that he keeps us strong in and through the storms of life.  Grace is always refreshing and therefore allows a positive perspective which can be seen as joy.  On this new day may you experience the strength of his grace.  May your old habits that do not take you where you hoped to go, be lost in the life of his grace.  The habit of grace in your life will bring a delightful attitude, a refreshing emotion and wonderful thoughts about God, you and those around you.

How many of us seem to struggle as to who we are?  Many times we do not seem to even sense peace within ourselves, let alone our families or the work place.  Peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. This puts relationships at rest.  First with God, with the result impacting our family, our friends and even the work place.   This does not mean there will be no conflict.  This peace allows us to forgive well and at times to ask for forgiveness without the feelings of embarrassment or shame.  This being the case, yesterday does not ruin today because our relationships are at peace as far as it depends on us because of the grace of God in Jesus the Christ.  Then we discover in our journey that this is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm 118:24 NIV.  This is the freedom given to all in Jesus the Christ and it is called grace.  On this new day let your heart and your mind rejoice in this relaxing freedom.  Your eyes will see much clearer, your ears will hear more beautiful sounds and your soul will be just plain happy.  This is what has been given for you through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Enjoy

No one can serve two masters.  For you will hate one and love the other, you will be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and money.  That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life.  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:24,25,27,33 NLT

From the beginning of creation our first parents, Adam and Eve began to reason within themselves that there logic and understanding was better than what God had said.  It was there that the battles began with God and with each other. No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, you will be devoted to one and despise the other.  Men and Women all over the world are still suffering from this logic and understanding.  Many times we find ourselves much more devoted to what is in our hand than what we know the Lord has said and who He is.  It is in this condition that grace can overwhelm us, so that what is in our hand does not own our emotions or our understanding.  Grace gives a great freedom of delighting in our Lord no matter where we may be found.  May you know and experience on this new day the blessings of grace, where you will find no worry, no stress, no forms of lust and no tension.  Let his grace bath your heart and mind with the freedom of praise.  Enjoy!

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.  Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.  1 Timothy 6:10 NIV

Our natural nature has a tendency to disagree with what our Lord says.  Here, money is not the problem, for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.  The root of the love of money brings anxiety; the root of the love of money brings all forms of lust; the root of the love of money brings worry and is the ruin of many a family.  It is here where the grace of God in Jesus the Christ can refresh us into a new creation.  For all the wealth that is in the world, through all the generations of man is still here, it always stays and we leave.  The ability to earn money is meant to bring glory to God, delight to us and a blessing to others.  It is designed so that we may become our Lord's cashiers, having the joy of seeing what his plan may be and saying I can fulfill that need.  On this new day may you be overwhelmed by his grace concerning your money.  His reasoning will always be more refreshing than your own.  Give thanks continually, encourage everyone around you always and find ways to bless what our Lord is doing through what he has put into your hands.  Enjoy!
