I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.  I do not conceal your love and your truth from those I meet.

Psalm 40:10 NIV

What happens to the life of a man or woman who has received the grace of God in Jesus Christ? God made him (Jesus the Christ) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV. Therefore I do not hide your righteousness in my heart. Your righteousness in my heart gives us a beautiful view of our life without condemnation or shame in our emotions or our thinking. I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.  With that in place, our faith in our Lord brings about a peace and joy in our journey and others are then blessed with his love through us. I do not conceal your love and your truth from those I meet. When God’s righteousness has been received and become what we are, relationships can be rebuilt and renewed. Today let his grace and love continue to overwhelm you as you speak of God’s faithfulness and salvation.  In his grace your life can say –  I do not hide your righteousness in my heart, I do not conceal your love and your truth from those I meet.  Those you meet today will be very blessed to experience God’s grace for them through you. Enjoy!

Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.  And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.  And this is his commandment:  We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 1 John 3:21-23 NLT

It is amazing to think of the heartaches we go through when we have emotions full of condemnation.  In the Word of God we can see again the power of His grace in Jesus Christ that gives us no condemnation, no guilt and no shame. Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  Romans 8:1 NIV.   Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.  Grace gives us new life, with a joy of a relationship with the Lord that is secure, good and refreshing as each new day comes. These words are overwhelming because of grace – And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. What is it that pleases God?  We must believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another.  Let your faith in Jesus Christ continue to overwhelm you in his grace.  You will experience a bold confidence in your life that will refresh you as well as others. Those around you will begin to feel loved and you will experience a joy that cannot be contained. Enjoy!

Because God’s children are human beings - made of flesh and blood - the Son also became flesh and blood.  For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.  Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.  Hebrews 2:14, 15 NLT

Right here is the beautiful definition of the Grace of God!!!  Our salvation, our redemption was an act of God’s grace poured out from His Righteoussness and Holiness.  When we live in God’s amazing grace, the power of our natural sin nature is broken so that we can rejoice, delight and give thanks in our freedom from our own past slavery!!! It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Sand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.  Galatians 5:1 NIV May you enjoy this new day in the freedom and love of God’s grace knowing that the slavery of our former sinful addictions have been broken so that we are now a new creation in Jesus the Christ!!!  ENJOY

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.  For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.  Ephesians 5:21, 22, 25 NLT

To submit is a strange word in our culture. To even consider it out of duty or obligation is something our nature does not enjoy and makes us feel agitated, sometimes feeling inferior and in time gets exhausting. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.   In Grace, submitting or loving has to do with our reverence for Jesus the Christ. The nature of grace is love, which is to esteem, encourage, give honor and respect to others along their journey. Therefore submitting has to do with esteeming, encouraging, giving honor and respecting others.  So for wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord, out of reverence for Christ.  For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church, out of reverence for Christ.  When submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ has become who we are, then relationships can be built through the grace and love of Christ, we then experience great encouragement along with its cousin joy.  Today, allow the beauty of God’s grace to be living and speaking through you.  In this place you will find no burden, no guilt, and no regret.  You and your family will feel and rejoice in being renewed. Enjoy!

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.  Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.  Put on your new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT

The grace that is given in Jesus the Christ gives the power to throw off our old sinful nature as the major controller of our emotions. Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life.  Marriages, neighborhoods, the work place, and our communities are in trouble not because of God's grace, but because of our old sinful nature. Our former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. The grace of Jesus Christ brings a new nature so that we can learn the truth that comes from him.  In God's grace we can find ourselves being refreshed each day in how we feel and think. Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy. Today allow yourself to experience the great joy of knowing his grace. In grace, righteous, holy, praise and thanksgiving will come naturally and you will see your life through the eyes of God. If you are willing to live in his grace, this might just be one of the best days of your life. Enjoy!

God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were.  But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant.  So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us a right standing with  God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20, 21 NLT

Sin is universal and is found in every group of people on the earth. God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were.  Sin wants no authority but itself and can express itself in many ways, all of which bring brokenness and death.  After all, what is lust, bitterness, anger, resentment, criticism, all of which bring tension to our relationships in our home, our work place, our community and our churches? But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.  God’s grace recreates our nature and gives what is known as “eternal life” which brings about kindness, harmony and joy.  So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us a right standing with God. With that being the case in a man or woman, relationships can be renewed.  Today, enjoy that life that is called eternal through Jesus the Christ.  It has been given and provided for you through God’s wonderful grace. Take a breath of his grace, then relax, look up and give thanks to the Lord.  You will see, hear and respond so much better, that you will feel like all things have become new again, it is just how a life of God’s wonderful grace is. Enjoy!

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.  Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.  My brothers, this should not be.  James 3:9, 10 NIV

Are there not moments in our life when even we are stunned by what just came out of our mouth? With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. My brothers, this should not be. The grace that has been given in our Lord Jesus Christ is meant to bring about a new life in us and therefore a new way in how we speak to one another. Since grace is filled with kindness and encouragement, we are given the opportunities to speak words of grace to others on a very consistent level.  In other words, expressions of blessings, encouragement and refreshment become not just what we say but actually who we are in the grace of our Lord.  Today choose to live in the newness of his grace.  Let the expressions on your face, the tones of your voice and the words from your mouth be full of kindness to everyone you meet.  If something other than a blessing comes from your mouth, grace will let you repent in joy immediately. So go ahead, bless your family, your co-workers and those you meet along your way.  Grace gives you the joy to express yourself so that it brings delight to you and a refreshing joy to others. 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 NIV

There is nothing more life changing to a man or a woman than the grace of God. My salvation and my honor depend on God. Grace brings a confident reality to our emotions and intellect. He is my mighty rock, my refuge. God’s grace found through Jesus the Christ is much more powerful, much more refreshing and much more renewing than any situation we may find ourselves in. O people, pour out your hearts to him for God is our refuge. You see faith in God is not a belief system; it is a living confidence in God and his Word that releases thanksgiving and praise right in the middle of life’s opportunities. Trust in him at all times.  Today has been given to you, may you know for sure that your salvation, your honor and your life 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!

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.  Genesis 2:24 NIV

God’s plan for mankind has always been grace, for grace brings about a love which produces joy in our relationships.  Sin on the other hand is caustic in its emotions, its thoughts and its words, bringing destruction to relationships.  The actions of sin have destroyed many marriages and families along the journey.  But the love found in Jesus the Christ is that grace can overwhelm sin, for it was given in the power of the blood of Christ.  Emotions of grace, words of grace and expressions of grace can renew love and life to marriages, families and communities. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. You see grace gives life to us in the very center of our being to love well.  Grace can take two and overwhelm them in love so that they become one.  Today may you laugh a lot, encourage a lot and forgive a lot in your life of grace. This day of grace can bring unity, kindness and blessings to your relationships within your family through you.  Enjoy

But to you who are willing to listen, I say, Love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you.  Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.

Luke 6:27, 28 NLT

God’s Grace is amazing and overwhelming.  Grace is a gift that God gives through Jesus Christ to anyone who is willing to receive it by faith.  Grace is God’s life that is given so that we may have a new life, not a reconditioned life. So Jesus says to the man or woman who has received grace – But to you who are willing to listen, I say…  A life of Grace has no regret because it brings about a new creation, the character of God implanted within the soul of a man or woman, it is to be born again and it is a life that is called eternal in Jesus the Christ.  So a question, what is the impact of Grace on a man or woman’s life in the Word of God?  A Grace life says – love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you.  Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. When we act upon what Jesus has said a renewal begins. Today may you be willing to listen!  What will you choose as your attitude for this day?  A life lived in Grace will bring you no regret, at all!  Enjoy!
