God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 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. So, do you want it? Then believe what God has said. On this day may you experience what it is like to abound in grace For our Lord is able to make it happen!!! What you find to do today may just look like grace in you abounding in every good work. I pray the tones in your voice and the expressions from your face will cause others to feel blessed, valued and loved. God’s grace just makes a good day. Enjoy! Friday, January 03 2025
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV
What we think about most really does determine how we see our life and how we feel about it. Someone once said – “It isn’t what you have, or what you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.” God’s grace not only saves, but it gives us life so that we may have the freedom to process our moments in ways that will refresh and renew our lives as well as those around us. Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellengt or praiseworthy - think about such things. Grace takes the Word of God and lives it in real time, in and through the details of our journey. Have this attitude in yourselcves which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5 NASB On this new day that has never been before, let the grace of the Word of God live in and through you. Your emotions, your intellect and your future will be overwhelmed in all the right ways and you will know and enjoy it as grace. This is a wonderful way to start the day! Enjoy!

The LORD doesn't see thngs the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 NLT
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 of knowing the LORD that touches the very soul of who we are. Grace impacts our heart like nothing else can (the LORD looks at the heart) and in this place our desires and emotions become free to express and receive love, kindness and encouragement without the feeling of any embarrassment. Here our marriage, our children and our relationships are refreshed in ways that cause us to praise and give thanks to our 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 Him. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 NIV. Enjoy! Wednesday, January 01 2025
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 and anxiety 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! |
