Grace

Grace is joy beyond words.

It relieves us of the burden of trying to follow laws that we were never able to adhere to in the first place.

My words are stumbling over each other in an effort to attempt to define GOD'S GRACE, but it seems each syllable comes up woefully short of getting near enough to do it justice.   When HE died for me; when HE suffered for me; when HIS stripes healed me; HE placed upon me HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.  How does one explain that?

When I became HIS, the desire to sin diminished exponentially.  HE forgave my frailty.  HE placed me upon a road I didn't even know was there.  How do you thank someone for giving up all they had and suffering, then dieing for you?  I think the only way is to live for HIM.  I fail daily at living up to my own expectations of what I think THE LORD requires of me, but daily HE Blesses me and watches over me in ways I cannot understand.

My soul is forever entangled with HIM.  Tears of wonder stream down my face as I consider what more HE has to offer me that I can barely breathe. 

My LORD and my SAVIOR loves me and that is all that seems to matter.

Shalom!  Pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem!
