Into The Deep Grace of God

By Christina

IMG_8041I started out this morning on a Facebook live video for the first time sharing a quick reflection that the Lord placed in my heart. How much grace we have from God–it is a GIFT!

You know sometimes people don’t accept gifts. They refuse, dislike, deny, re-gift or try to give them back to the giver.

Why do that? It is a GIFT! Which is the same way God has given us a deeper gift of grace that is beyond the surface. It cancels out all the history, the shame, the guilt, the pain and all the other darkness you could have found in your life. Places where you needed redemption! Saving! That is where He comes in with the best gift–His Son Jesus.

No matter how much sin there is in this world–there is more grace!

But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.
Romans 5:20

She Can Never Lose Sight

By Christina

focusedWhat keeps me going is focusing on the VISION!

I know that recovery takes time. For the mind, body, soul and spirit.

“The doctor says” two weeks, four weeks  or months.

A psychologist can say it takes years for mental recovery.

What does the word of God say for any type? That is sovereign over my circumstances! Focus on the prize! Focus on Jesus!

FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS!

I am set to follow one course until successful!

Wow! Do you see how The Message translation says this:

Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
Hebrews 12:1-3 Continue reading

Let Him Pick It Up

By Christina

IMG_7805From a sister in Christ today… she sends us some morning inspiration that goes like this,

“For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can TRUST everything He does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.”
Psalm 33:45

She is a representation of us. I admire her vulnerability to share. Frail humans requiring a firm God in everything. We come to a place where we see the equation and the math lines up. 2 + 2 = 4; 3 + 1 = 4; 4 + 0 = 4. All of that logistically makes sense right? Then when things don’t make sense at all, perhaps this is our place where we remove ourselves from the equation and let God be GOD! Continue reading

Set Free

By Christina

imageMore and more I have decided that I can make the best choices. I can see things as they are and I can share how much this scripture is revealed to me in such an impactful way.

The TRUTH shall set you free!

So what I thought has passed and that will all fade away,  I know that the only thing that ever moved me was LOVE. If that is not present for all in my life then I will know this truth and live SET FREE from it!

Instead of creating “beyond reality” in my mind, this walk was never based on a fairytale. Only truth.

I am weighing the words now so I see clearly despite what I feel, that there is still TRUTH! Continue reading
