This is Grace to me....
Grace is more than God being a good God
and having mercy on his children. Grace is a COMPLETE life
transformation in every single area of life. It is no longer my
life, but Christ.
Grace is a celebration. It is enjoying
life. It is the revelation of heaven on earth. Grace is seeing
people and situations through the eyes of Jesus. It is love that
compels us. And we simply enjoy. Well of course bad things still
happen. We live in a fallen world. But when you see from God's
perspective, you see the world differently than we were always
taught. We walk fearlessly through the valley of the shadow
(illusion) of death because our focus is on the still waters.
When I act contrarily to my new nature,
I have just forgotten who I am. The Holy Spirit reminds us of all
things---Who we are! Hallelujah! Grace is not just my relationship
with my father. Grace is my life now. In the old way of thinking, I
might wash the dishes because that is what I expect from me as a wife
and mother. With my new nature, I wash the dishes because I want to.
And I DO want to because I enjoy a clean kitchen. I enjoy sitting
with my family eating on clean plates. It's quiet time where I can
commune with my Father. My “want to” changed only when I rest in
the Truth about who I am. His love for me is my tackling fuel.
Daily tasks are now effortless and
fun...not because I HAVE to, but because it is something I do as a
result of seeing and believing who I am. Can you see the difference?
Who is the Father of the things you do? Even self-expectations are
a fruit of the fallen world. Grace overcomes ALL of these. Jesus
fulfilled ALL laws...the ones written in stone AND the ones we write
ourselves on our hearts. This is exceptionally excellent news!
