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.

I Looked at Him and Died but He Gave me Life Again Cos He Loved Me

I looked at him in the middle of my time today before his loving face It took my gaze, and I made him proud of me Yet as I waited my heart grew dim and I gave way to sin Yet he never forsook his promise to be with me And my hope to heal my heart fell away Yet I hear him saying, I alone can heal a heart that grows cold and dim Yet he waits for me and I carry my heavy heart to his hand And he rests with intent of caring for my love So beaten, broken and bruised he took me in Beaten and sore, my wound he healed Shown love from the spotless lamb of God He showed me I care for you He showed me love   Photo by   Bill Fairs   on   Unsplash

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...
