Had an awesome day in the Corporate world today.... got home, smiled at the day,kicked off those high heels & smart elegant suit! Suddenly i was no longer the serious corporate business woman but just "His barefoot little girl at home" yep, there is time for everything indeed, a time to be professional, smart, representing Him always in elegant excellence manner, however there is also a time to just be that "barefoot little girl at home..."
Chilling with a cuppa i was suddenly reminded by the Holy Spirit about a very specific bleak time i entered in my own christian life...Living for Christ at that time just seemed so unbelievably difficult for me! I was confused, even depressed at times! (yes me!) then one day i was lying back in a hot foam bath eyes closed (love these times)...when i heard Him say to me " daughter you saying to serve Me is hard, I say it is easy (ps go read Math11:28:30 after this bath)...and He added i could assuredly say today with a winking smile:"i suggest you find out daughter who of us two is right..." this one little big incident in my life sure marked the start of a journey which completely changed my life forever!
what did i learn from this? you see, after our new birth living as a "christian" remains a matter of FAITH. (Galatians 2:20). Your salvation, my salvation, starts right at the GIFT OF FAITH ((Eph2:8) and continues same WAY...HIS WAY BY FAITH BY HIS SPIRIT. Remember, Paul said:"I DO NOT SET ASIDE THE GRACE OF GOD (Gal 2:21), " I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD = JESUS CHRIST) (:20KJV) My friend dont miss a crucial point here, did you hear it?: BY HIS FAITH NOT MINE!
By the way, you and i, WE DONT START WITH GRACE, BUT HAVE TO CONINTUE BY OUR OWN EFFORTS (Gal 3:3). Sure made me KNOW stated fact: GOD S PLAN OF SALVATION IN THROUGH JESUS CHRIST COVERS EVERYTHING. IT IS BY GRACE FROM BEGINNING TO END. Simply saying in straight terms: God who has given me and you THE GIFT OF FAITH TO BELIEVE IN THE FIRST PLACE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
Through my own journey i ve come to realize and KNOW that salvation my friend is sure not a matter of trying, but rather a matter of trusting! read it again but HEAR IT TODAY...you and i are not urged to keep a grip on God - no, He keeps a steadfast grip on us! i m totaly convinced in my heart that NO ONE including satan can snatch you and me out of His Hand. (John 10:28)
NOW THAT IS GRACE! AMAZING GRACE AMAZING LOVE!
Love you all to life for life always mawhx
