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 of this, I needed only ask for wisdom. In the arc of lifting up, he gave me right standing and I can’t say enough that He is the way to life. “For I knew you while you were in your mothers womb. I knew you and formed you holy and pure without blemish. See I gave you light and you see I have given you all things for you have been faithful with the little. Now I will place you in charge of much.” 


Works mean little to God. Though they signify the breakthrough periods of our existence. We need only transform by the season of God’s love. See it’s freedom He wants and freedom we gain through the cross of Christ. I experienced great love in this, that Christ gave His life for mine and I lay down my life for His love. He is a fountain and a fount to my soul. I rest in him and He in me. So I place my faith in His light. He allows me to see the very fruit of my labour only due to his great love. 


Found in the arms of grace enables me to see I can find anyone too. Seeing the lost through these giving graces enable me to set others free. Who the son sets free is free indeed. (John 8:36) So I rest in this knowledge that I stand at the alter of God’s love ready to give my life for his love. I offer my all for this, to raise up another generation to serve Him.

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...
