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.
