Go ahead and take from Him!

The Ways of Grace by Joseph Prince

He invites us to take from Him and continues to reveal His grace to us in
many different ways. I'm so thankful for Him.

Restoration...I love the way God does things.

I watched this clip from CBN today [link below] and it got me thinking about the word Restoration.  God is in the business of restoration. He delights in it because He gets the glory and honor for transforming a life, but also because He loves His creation so much that He wants them to live an abundant life and not a life of addiction, depravity, and hopelessness.

No matter what you are facing or going through today, know that God loves you! He DOES have good plans for your life. He wants to bring restoration to you and your family. He loves the family and He loves healthy relationships. He sent Jesus for your restoration. [God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.]

If you look up the word Restoration, you'll see the word Renew. He wants to make you NEW! If you are already born-again, just submit yourself to Him, give Him all your junk, get in the Word, ask Him and He will restore your life. If you need to be born-again, it's a simple process...Just say, "Jesus, I need you. Come in and make me new. I can't do this on my own. Thank you Jesus for loving me and bringing me into your family."

Stress-free?

Hey, I have good news for you today...according to wayfair.com, you can enjoy the upcoming holidays "stress-free"...and I quote: (with a hint of sarcasm)

"From furniture to our favorite ways to deck the halls, celebrate the holidays totally stress-free."

Now, mind you, I have nothing against Wayfair or their products, but that is quite a claim! Seems just a bit unrealistic to me. How about you? We all know that the holidays bring out the best and the worst in people (and yes that includes every family).

I think for most of us (especially women) we go into the holiday season wanting everything to be perfect; the gifts, the decor, the food, etc. Talk about a set-up for disappointment! Ladies, I just want to say up front, "It will not be perfect." Things will go wrong, here or there.

I don't think there is such a thing as "stress-free." Maybe in death. :) Just enjoy the holidays...try not to have unrealistic expectations. Enjoy your family and friends. Enjoy, yes, even enjoy the fact that nobody is perfect, except Jesus. Be conscious of Him in your celebrations this season, and the stress level will decrease measurably.

Stress-free? Still a doubting Thomas.

You are important

I want you to know today that God's love for you is enormous! He loved you enough to sacrifice his Son for you. You are a treasure to Him. Continue to learn more about His love for you.

You are important and you matter.

That's How You Forgive (Lyric Video)

If you're a Christian, He just wants to live His life through you. You are an ambassador for Christ, His highest representative on earth. What an honor.

If you are not a Christian, that can be remedied today...right now. If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, that He needs to be Lord of your life and give you new life, just say to Him, "I believe in You Jesus. I know that You are the Son of God and you came to free me from my bondage of sin and death. I know that in You, and only in You, I find new life. Live Your life in me...beginning today, this moment. I surrender to You. Thank you Jesus! (If you said, and more importantly, meant, that prayer, you are a new member of the household of God.)

Welcome to the family! You can now go out and tell someone, "I'm a child of God."

I don't know if this is the right thing to do..or not. But I do understand why people are feeling this way. They no longer trust their government. They want their families to be safe. They enjoy being in the beauty of nature. There are many reasons why a family would move to places like these. You decide for yourself. Blessings on your day!

Joseph Prince - Confession Of Sins—Is It For The Believer? - 15 Sept 2013

David and I believe that Jesus came and died and He accomplished what He was sent to do. He paid for and removed the sins of the whole world; everyone and ALL sin. Now it's up to each individual to believe and receive what Jesus did for them and focus on Him...not sin.  Amen?
