Grace - Art of Giving

Grace - Art of Giving

Mums are generous. They give and don’t expect back. They are always giving their best. Even when it costs them something of themselves. Mums don’t worry about their image as a mum will put her family first.

Mums give and don’t expect. When I was young our traditions were founded upon my mum and dad setting the priorities of the house. There were family activities and events that gave our house things to look forward to. This was our family activity on our birthday. Present giving and opening was big. We knew our family had been thinking of our birthday for weeks, this was a chance to share a bit of special money with giving off gifts.

Mum would like to spend a little more than she needed to. Our family was blessed by a generous mother in the house. Mother would use her creative talents to search for ideas on what you might need. She used her ability to shop and search for items that would bring joy. This made mother happy.

Our family was blessed by Mum’s gifts and her attitude of love through generosity. Her gift of love and tender spirit gave us so much joy. She was special and uniquely made for this role.

Our Mum made us aware that each of our thoughts towards her was unique and special too. This made our heart feel overwhelmed with such a love only mum could give. Our heart was given such a prime and important place in our house. Though we made mistakes our Mum made this call to repent a delight. With love she would seek to restore our heart to a place where we knew she loved us. This made a place of safe and secure love for us to grow up.

Thanks Mum for always loving us.

Love

Found in the Arms of Grace

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14). For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves. In the start o...

Watch and See I am He

When I create things I take time to elaborate on my thought as a sign of discretion so not to cause offence to anyone, rather build them into a holy person of faith. Now this is not easy nor is it an effort that requires no thought. Rather it is a process of elaborate ideas that no one will grasp with out a firm understanding of the goal. In which I, James Eadie, need only to relinquish to God in the process called submission to God’s will. Some time ago I was given the encouragement to write. This writing came easy to start with though was filled with error and could have been corrected till the cows come home. The intent was the same and the focus was always to display glory to Him who gave me love. Where as the awareness of impact has increased and I now see my word as a work of art. It displays true understanding when developed to an extent of freedom and great love. So, to wait on God in the process is to display holy surrender to him. What I never thought would be a script ...

Favoured

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows. Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through. The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this. It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...
