Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved . 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself.
I find myself at a place I really never planned on being - here in the world of blogging - yet somehow it feels right to be here. I'm a complete novice at this and so if you come to read my blog, please be patient with me. Ü
I don't have a clear picture of what this blog will become but so often have thoughts from my quiet moments with God that I'd love to share. Love to converse with others about. Love to just testify to His goodness. I have so much to learn from God and from others who love and serve Him. Please share with me.
My walk with God began in a place where I was emerged in religion with a lack of grace. Yet, I thank God that He did not leave me in that place spiritually, but has worked in my heart steadily and surely, and I'm so thankful to be learning more and more all the time. I know His grace is so freely given - it is not that I must grasp to receive it, but my longing is to grasp it more in understanding and take it deep into my heart and let it change my life completely.
Now as I learn more about grace, I feel as though to see it wholly, I must realize it is both a grace that saves me eternally and a grace that saves me continually. Not just a grace that saves me once and then let's me live however I wish in this life but a grace that enables me to live for Jesus when I truly understand that of myself I can do nothing. Undeserved mercy - both in saving my soul and in giving me the power to fight against sin. I don't know that I've explained myself well, but I'd love to hear your input.
