"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord". Everyday that I have the opportunity to exhale and enjoy the gift of life, I am more appreciative of God's grace in having kept me alive and sane throughout the years. You might be wondering why I used the word 'sane' as if I would have gone crazy. Infact, the truth is that 'going crazy' is the least that could have happened to me. God's grace is so amazing in saving and restoring us, but the enemy would have us to believe other wise.
If it were not for God's grace in saving and restoring us, the mistakes that we made in our past would have swallowed us alive. The sheer guilt, pain and feelings of unworthiness would have been enough to dig our graves and throw us in it. And the enemy, our adversary, Satan, the deceiver from the beginning, that old wicked one would have been satisfied to see us destroyed. And here's the bad part:WE WERE GUILTY. But God, who is rich in mercy and love; that great loved with which he has loved us did not forget about us. He was fully aware of our flaws and knew the mistakes that we would make. Therefore, he had already devised a plan for our rescue by sending his only son to die for our sins. What has happenned in the past has helped to shape our lives, but does not define who we are. "If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation". Find rest and comfort today in the arms of a true friend, Jesus Christ our Lord. And if the enemy reminds you of your past failures, mistakes and "mess ups", just tell him "BUT GOD"!
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.
