My Grace Needs Help
I’ve heard and sung about God’s amazing grace all my life. Though we make mistakes and have not-nice attitudes and are weak in our grace to others, God loves us deeply anyway. Grace – God’s unmerited favor — is always helping us in our weaknesses. “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for…
Lord, Have Mercy!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens. In reality, that is what we should say, rather pray, anytime we encounter a roadblock, a rock landslide, “rocked my world” or rock crazy situations going on in our world. The rock-solid mercy of God…
GRACE…..so AMAZING!!
GRACE is a word I’ve heard all my life because I heard my sweet Mom singing “Amazing Grace” throughout our home and we often sang it at church. I’ve also heard it sung worldwide as an anthem of praise. And this morning as I type this blog, it is the second song Alexa played when…
God’s Grace. My Grace.
First let’s talk about God’s good grace — His unmerited favor on us. It was God’s “Amazing Grace” how sweet the sound that saved ME and saved the day FOR ME way more times than I deserve. And, close to home, was God’s grace to my beloved nephew many times over in his life, but…
He Gives More than Shovelfuls
God is a shoveler. He shovels by the shovelful — not by a measly spoonful. I know The Shoveler! I am a recipient of God’s amazing grace (the free and unmerited favor of God) that is more than I could ever ask for or even think. In fact, my attempt to “measure” God’s grace in…
My Grace Needs Help
I’ve heard and sung about God’s amazing grace all my life. Though we make mistakes and have not-nice attitudes and are so weak in our faithfulfulness to Him and His grace, He loves us so deeply anyway. Grace — His unmerited favor — is always helping us in our weaknesses. “But He said to me,…
God’s Grace. My Grace.
Maybe, like me, you’ve heard countless sermons and read books about grace. Maybe you know some of the “grace” scriptures by heart and can quote them to others. But my prayer is that we’ll see this word again for the first time. I think grace is most fully understood through our own experiences. Otherwise, it…
God is Good….All the Time. All the Time….God is Good.
Some years ago, the phrase “God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good” became popular. It was given in a call-and-response pattern. Our African Associate Pastor, in his beautiful African accent, begins every message he gives with “God is good!” And, he waits until we reply “All the time!” Then he…
GRACE…..so AMAZING!!
GRACE is a word I’ve heard all my life because I heard my sweet Mom singing “Amazing Grace” throughout our home and I heard it sung worldwide as an anthem of praise. Why would that old song still be relevant, especially when there are so many wonderful songs of praise that are written and sung…
Probing and Examining
Day 64 of Photo Inspirations — Probing and Examining We are in the 2nd week of Lent – that time when we do a lot of introspection and examining our hearts and minds as we make our way to Easter. However, based on this scripture: “I, the LORD, probe into people’s minds. I examine people’s…
