"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."


As a christian I should not be amazed at Gods Love for us , but I often find myself feeling amazed at Gods continual love, grace and mercy for us.
Jesus died on the cross for each and everyone of us no matter what the sin or sins that we commit. It is easy in our human judgemental minds to look at others and see all their faults and see reasons as to why perhaps their sin is greater than any ones that we have committed , but the truth is that Gods grace extends to us all not just some of us, and God does not have a hierarchy for sins
Matthew 7:4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?
We only have to fall at his feet and ask him to forgive us of anything that we have done and his forgiveness is there unconditional love and forgiveness, overflowing and freely given.
I felt such warmth in my heart today at church to be standing side by side with a room full of people knowing that each and everyone of us have something that we need to confess to God and repent , change our ways and walk in freedom. nothing else on this Earth or in the heavens can offer us such a gift, and such true liberation.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (New International Version) But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Just as a new day dawns so does our walk with God, his mercy is new every morning.

  2. yep..i loved that scripture today about us shrugging off the sins that so easily beset us, thinking that it would be too easy to say "i can't stand in church while i am aware that i sin so easily, how can i raise my hands?"..but that's exactly what God, who loves us so much wants us to do. "Despite my failings and sins, i will stand and worship my King, because He loves me and forgives me"
