God's Grace

Hey Guys! I am so glad to be back to the blogger world it's been way too long!! One of my goals this year is to spend as much time with The Lord as I can! I want to sit at a Jesus feet and let Him teach me and just to bask in His presence!

I want to share something The Lord showed me a couple of days after Christmas...

In Hebrews 12:15 it says...See to it that no one misses the grace of God... (Hebrews 12:15 NIV84)
That is just the first part of the verse but I want to focus of that because it is so powerful! I feel like God showed me this verse for a reason... God truly has showed me his grace and mercy through everything!! I wanted to know more about his grace so I did some researching and this is what I found out about Gods Grace: Simply put, GRACE can be defined as unearned favor. Specifically, God's grace is something God does for the benefit of His people just because He loves them, not because of something they have done to earn it. Grace is a gift and can never be earned. It's always totally FREE. God's Grace is "the power of God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves". And the fact is, we cannot do anything for ourselves. Jesus says, "...without me you can do nothing." John 15:5

The Bible gives us a beautiful example of what grace is and does in Numbers 20 when Moses took the Children of Israel out of Egypt and into the desert the people soon became thirsty, but there wasn't any water to be found. God told Moses to strike a specific rock and He (God) would give the people water. The water that came out of that rock demonstrates the grace of God flowing out to all who would drink. It also caused the parched and barren land to blossom which in turn gave the people and animals something to eat. Without this water, without God's grace supplying the needs of the people, the people would have died. Christ is the Rock; He is also the Living Water.

This year I want Hebrews 12:15 to be my goal to share God's grace with everyone I meet!!! I hope everyone has a BLESSED Monday and ROLL TIDE!!!
