What God's Grace Means to Me


A lot of times we throw the word grace around and don't give a lot of thought as to what it means to those we are talking to or to our selves for that matter .Well I would like to say what God's grace means to me in this moment of time .What it means to me at the present is that I am going to keep going on ,I'm not going to quit ,I am pushing through all the dark feelings and confusion and this dismal funk that I am feeling tonight and I am going to yet keep trusting in my Savior and Lord Jesus .

People might have the impression that believers in Jesus have it made in the shade and they don't face things like depression or other things that can weigh heavey on an individual .Well I am here to tell you ,we have our problems too but what makes the difference in a true believers life is that God gives them His grace(His unmerited favor and His supernatural power)to help them come out triumphant ,not because of the circumstances that they are in but in spite of the circumstances that they are in

So I would like to say that tonight ,by the grace of God almighty ,I keep my sanity ,I am not giving up ,and I will keep on keepin on .

How true this is! I have often come across people who believe that simply because I have faith that is means I do not face the same hardships that they do. I have to tell them that yes, I do face those hardships, but my faith helps me deal with those hardships!

Don't give up!

No one promised any Christian a bed of roses--look at Paul's life. The only difference between us and nonbelievers as far as hardship is concerned is that we know the story ends happily ever after.
