He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1Corinthians 1:8, 9 NIV

Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him.  For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean.  Hebrews 10:22 NLT

God's Word gives us a wonderful picture of his grace impacting our lives. Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him.  We are invited to come into the presence of God with all our emotions and all our intellect.  Here we can experience the power of having been sprinkled with Christ’s blood – For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean. God’s grace in Jesus the Christ not only forgives but makes us clean.  That’s what is meant by no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ, 

Romans 8:1. Today enjoy your journey of grace and go right into his presence with a sincere heart fully trusting him.  Your good and your refreshment are his delight.  So smile, relax and let your heart rejoice in the Lord, for his life and grace are in you and with that you are clean, now and forever!

I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do.  I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.   And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.  1 Corinthians 10:33 NLT.

“Who do we imitate?”  The answer will reveal to us what kind of attitude we will have on any given day.  God so loved that he gave his life, he gave it with joy and compassion to those, who at the time did not ask nor seek what he is.  Even on the cross he responds to the situation this way – “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”  Luke 22:34.  There is a glorious life in the grace of Christ that many are missing along their journey.  Grace recreates us so that we desire to delight ourselves in the Lord and see others refreshed so that they too may experience the grace of God in Jesus Christ. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. Today let yourself bless everyone in everything you do. Let them see, hear and experience God’s grace and love through you.  This might be a good day for someone to imitate you as you imitate Christ.  Enjoy!

From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.  Proverbs 12:14 NIV

It is amazing the impact on our life that comes from our tone of voice and our words? From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things. Sometimes we forget that the income that comes from our mouth can be just as profitable to our life as our physical labor. As surely as the work of his hands rewards him.  With our lips we express through words and tones the attitude of our heart.  It is here where grace can be experienced with great refreshment. Grace gives us the joy of being aware of words and tones that will bring a blessing to the emotions of others.  We then have the wonderful opportunity to have our attitudes be expressions of joy and encouragement.  Today rejoice in the work of your hands, but especially rejoice in what grace sounds like as it is being spoken through you. From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things.  You will like it and it may just bring some healing to those around you.  Enjoy!

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.  In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. Romans 12:4 – 6 NLT

Everything we have and everything we are has been given to us as a gift of grace through Jesus the Christ.  When the gift of grace is living in and through us we will find ourselves full of joy!  Everyone seems to want and wish for joy and many expect it out of their lives only to find their life almost completely vacant of joy. You see joy comes from not just believing, but knowing the grace of God which produces a new life in us which can be seen and known!  But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ… it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4, 5 NIV. On this new day be blessed in his grace, give thanks out loud and praise his name!  You will find yourself full of joy!!! Enjoy!

Do not let sin control the way you live, do not give in to sinful desires. 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

What an amazing freedom there is in the grace of Jesus the Christ!  Can you believe that sin is no longer your master.  Can you grasp the reality, that grace in and through Jesus Christ is what it is, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.  What a blessing we have, we get to experience the freedom of God’s grace in us by keeping sin from sitting on the throne of our heart.  Do not let sin control the way you live, do not give in to sinful desires.  That is the victory in the freedom of God’s grace in Jesus Christ!  James Stifler – “The ideal Christian life is not a constant battle with sin, but a victory over it.”  There is no regret, no sorrow, no shame, and no condemnation when we choose to live our new life in the grace of Christ. This will be a very good day!  Enjoy!

O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. Psalm 86:5 NLT

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  Psalm 23:1 NIV

In these simple words we see the impact of grace in a man or woman of God.  The LORD is my shepherd.  By His grace they have come to know Him as the one who loves them and cares deeply for them. Here He is seen as “my shepherd," the one who cares intimately about the details of our life.  Grace lets us know that this is more than a thought or some kind of belief; it is a fact about our relationship with the Lord.  When we know this as true, stress, worry and anxiety have no place in us because I shall not be in want.  Today, celebrate that He is caring for you through all the details of your life.  Allow yourself to relax, smile and rejoice with praise to the LORD your Shepherd, whose goal is to bless you.  Enjoy!

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and prove what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.  Romans 12:2 NIV

One of the most miserable individuals on the earth is a man or woman of God who chooses to conform his or her thinking to the pattern of this world. after receiving the grace of God through Jesus the Christ. That is the carbon monoxide to relationships and the enemy of grace. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world…   Being conformed to the pattern of this world and grace are never found occupying the same space. But here is our great relief to the problem, it is the living power of God’s love which is greater than our sin, it is called grace.  Grace will always renew the way we see ourselves and others. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Transformed  (metamorphosis) is the process we see in a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.  God’s grace gives the same drastic change in how we think and therefore how we can feel. Then you will be able to test and prove what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. Today by his grace may you choose to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, then you will discover a will that is greater than your own.  You will find in grace joy, laughter, peace and encouragement in how you  see and experience life.  Enjoy!
