I don’t understand why my memory is the way it is. I can remember the words to thousands of songs, I can remember hundreds of Bible Verses, and I can remember lots of things. But for some reason I can’t seem to remember that grace is free. It’s a free gift. I can’t work for it. I can’t earn it. I can’t impress God with my good behavior. Some days I’m moving along and understanding it very well. The next thing I know I’ve messed it up again. I find myself striving, working, and trying to please God by myself – instead of living by faith. I know nobody else has the same problem, so I am just reposting it to my wall for me. Maybe it will sink down inside and rip apart the walls of my heart; the heart of the lady who is made of flesh and blood. I will review it frequently until the day I find myself resting in his Grace, instead of working for God’s undeserved favor. In this freedom Christ has made us free and completely liberated us; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared. Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery which you have once put off. Galatians 5:1 His grace saves me. The precious gift God gave freely when he offered his son to die for my sin. Grace and grace alone give me the peace and reassurance of heaven. Nothing I do or dont do add anything to this equation. I have accepted his gift and my sins are forgiven. I do, however, do the best I can to follow his instruction because I love him. But when I fail - theres grace. The longer I live, the more I get the treasure of grace. I realize I intend to.... , I want to follow, but I miss it and need grace. His grace covers every short coming. I love him all the more!
