Fully Forgiven

/1 Comment/in /by

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have ETERNAL life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to SAVE the world through him. (John 3:16-17)

This week I’m reminded of all that I have been given through my Savior!  I’m a sinner, saved by grace.  I did nothing to deserve all that I have through God’s hand of mercy.  I’m adopted as a daughter into the family of God.  All because I surrendered my life to the King of Kings.  The One who has called me by name.  The One who took time to form me in my mother’s womb (Psalm 139).  The One who set me aside for a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11).  The One who said that my sin would no longer separate me from His grace!  I’m walking in the abundance of who God is because of what Jesus did in my place!  I have joy, hope, and peace because God sent His Son for me.

I do believe that this Easter season is a time to reflect and remember who Jesus is.  It’s a time to say, “I believe.”  I believe what Jesus did on that cross was for me.  He loved me enough to die for my sins!  He loved me enough to pardon me from what I deserved.  God made a plan of escape from the penalty I deserved for my sins.  He sent His Son, so that I would not be condemned to Hell for the choices that I make.  For the sinful behavior that I often have.  For the ugliness that remains inside and that I battle with daily.

God sent His Son to save ME!  He sent His ONE and ONLY Son to save you.  There is only One Jesus!  Only One man who died for your sins!  It was not an easy road.  He did not do it because it was fun.  He didn’t do it because it felt good!  He did it so that we could have fellowship with God!  We no longer have to walk with that deep black hole inside of us.  We can have meaning in our life!  We can have purpose!  We can strive after something that gives us hope in eternity!  Do you know where you are going?  Do you know what will happen if you die today?  Is your soul ready to face eternity?

Lord, Give Me a Vision

/6 Comments/in /by

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18, KJV)

Lord, give me a vision, a vision I need,

A vision of souls lost without Thee.

Help me to carry your message far and near,

To multitudes in darkness who have yet to hear.

~

Lord, help me be willing to cross land or sea,

To hasten quickly, to set the captive free.

Of thy love and grace may they come to know,

That Jesus only, eternal life He bestows.

Now listen you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money. Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13-15)

Poof!

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)

What’s God doing in your life?

I love this time of the week.  This time where I get to look back and see all that God did.  It’s amazing what He can accomplish in a week!  I have watched God answer prayers, I have watched Him offer me strength in my weakness, I have watched Him restore my body, I watched Him mend relationships, I have seen growth in people around me and in my relationships with others.  I could go on and on about God’s goodness.  Of course, I’m still waiting on a few things but even in that I watch God give me the patience to wait.  So how has God been good to you this last week?  How did He come through for you?  Did He do something specific in your life?  Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know what God’s been doing in your life.  I can’t wait to hear all about it!
