Matt 6:34
GRACE #45/50
• GRACE is not (only) a lake or reservoir built up behind a dam or a well to which we can go and dip out what is needed. GRACE is a River that looks for a valley to flow through. As the river flows, it cleanses, purifies, nourishes and deepens in ways that ONLY God can do. In order for GRACE to complete it’s work, it must Flow Through the valley into the lives of others.

“Be” Holy
Tim Harrison is becoming one of my favorite fellow bloggers. In my reply to him a few days ago, I said: “it’s like Ur heart is beating in my chest and U’re reading my mind. Either that, or we’re both listening to the same Spirit.”
This is in reply to his latest post – U can read it here
Tim – Ur postings are quickly becoming my 2nd favorite morning word.
(maybe 3rd, if my wife wakes up before I read U’re post)
For most of my life, I thought “HOLY” was something I had to “become“.
Unfortunately, my focus was always on what and why I wasn’t.
“I don’t….” “I must stop…” “Why do I keep…” “Why can’t I…” “Will I ever…”
I finally reached the end… I finally admitted I couldn’t!
I’d NEVER measure up.
I’d NEVER become holy enough.
A very dark place was pulling hard.
…And God said:
“FINALLY!!! U’re right where I want U!”
“NOW I can begin to teach U what U already ARE!”
He’s delivering(ed) me from my religion of “performancism”
He’s teaching me about His Love and Grace.
I HAD NO IDEA!! I thought I did, but –
I DIDN ‘T HAVE A CLUE!
HOW He Loves me.
HOW UNCONDITIONAL
is His Grace!
It Really IS Just That Simple
