Grace Era

To this day me and my good friend giggle every time we mention the words "Grace Era" This season happened a few years after I had given my heart to Christ (for details comment below). The Lord had freed me from some destructive habbits when I got saved and quite honestly, I had got a little too smug in my freedom. I was no longer even tempted to do them and couldnt underestand why anyone struggled with these areas. Thru the course of several events I ended up falling into these very same habbits. The Lord lifted His hand of grace just enough so that I was right back where I started. I knew I was sinning but was powerless to stop. I tried and tried and tried to get free. I beat myself up but turned right around and did it again. I would repent after the deed was done and return again to it. Funny thing was that even though I knew I was messed up I still went to church. I figured it was safer there than staying home in my mysery. Finally, I gave up and quit resisting altogether. I told my friend that if I couldnt get free then I was going to enjoy it (not recommended). And enjoy it I did. I knew I couldnt free myself. All I knw to do was to fall fully on God's grace. It was a humbling experience and I paid a high cost for my sin, but I'm free!!!!!!! Today I see clearly who I am without Grace. WI have new eyes to see those who are still struggling. Now, I respond because I see the tragic consequences that can come as a result of the sin. If you are struggling I urge you to fling yourself upon God's mercy for it is only Him that can resu.

Let the Son shine in

let the darkest nights of the soul. When the tears flood your pillow, the snot runs, and all hope seems gone. Consider, weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let the truth of God's word encourage you to face another day. "because He lives I can face tomorrow" chin up soldier. This battle is fixed. You are needed to enforce the victory!
