Life

Life brings with it surprises, happiness, implicit  and explicit joy, and moments of total bliss. However, we can also expect some dissapointments, unhappiness, rejections,and even sorrow . However, let us allow these events to serve as tools used to equip us rather than cripple us. I have personally experienced my share of heartbreak as well as triumphs and I use it them all as fertilizer to bring forth greater growth spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Although, I, like many of you, have fallen short it is still ok to pick yourself up and continue on the journey. Never throw in the towel, for the very moment you give up is when you will experience your greatest Victory!

Prayer for today.....
Abba-Father, give me the grace to press forward even though I can't see what lies ahead of me. Help me to rest in the fact that You hold my future in Your capable hands and that I don't have to fear stepping out. Grant me the courage to release to You everything that hinders my walk with you. I'm getting out of the boat and I'm determined to walk on the waters. Create in me a heart that reflects Your peace, Your love, Your grace, and your ability to serve others as You would. This journey may take me places that are outside of my comfort zone, but I know that I'm safe in your arms.  Amen

Let Go and Let God

What is in your hand? Are you holding onto something that will bless you and encourage others? Or are you holding onto something that you've allowed to become an idol because you're afraid God will take it away? Look at the story of Abraham and Sarah. They were childless for decades (literally). Do you not think that they didn't wonder what happened to the promise? Check it out. Sarah decided to let Abraham rendevous with her handmaiden and it produced something that wasn't God's best. He blessed Ishmael, however, His best was still yet to come! Sarah allowed her fear to cause her to settle!! Yes, God, in His perfect timing brought forth the seed that would bring forth His Seed, but a lot of grief could have been avoided if Abraham and Sarah would have just "Let Go and let God!" Let this be your mantra today.....I'm letting go and allowing God to be who He is in my life!! ~V Askew Hall~

Grace

Grace is a word that is used in songs, sermons, and conversations. It is almost cliche to evoke the word grace. However, do we really understand what it is? Grace is a gift that God gives to each of us daily. It speaks of the very essence of who He is. God is merciful and slow to anger. He is forgiving and quick to help us up without condemnation. It is His mercy interlaced with His Grace that draws us closer to Him. He is consumed with passion for us and His love is without measure. NO matter where you are, NO matter what you've done, YOU still belong to Him. Experience His Amazing Grace today.
