GRACE During the GRIT
How can you learn grace if you have never experienced it before? A heart is how life is born, God gave the world His heart through His son, please do not miss this. Grace comes from the Father and even when you are all over the place! Right now, I dare you to ask the hard question, are you in the Father's will or your own? Open your heart to the hard question and open your ears up to hear Him because God will speak and if it does not bring you peace or joy, then open your eyes to the distractions around you. If you are covered in anxiety and fear that is from the author of confusion and not from the Lord. Do not get lost in the world's madness but stay focused on grace during the grit which is the Father's love. Words are either poison or honey, simple as that. Hard question, do you pray for others without them knowing? Have you ever stopped and thought about what your definition of grace is? And how do you give grace, and if you do not know, that is okay but I dare you to search your heart and ask God to reveal how to go deeper with the Father. The heart is everything, do not be scared of the heart God gives you. I am grateful for all the grace God has poured over my life and today God opens my eyes to little things that are huge, such as a song that impacted me from my chapter with my ex-husband called "Praying" by Keesha. If you have never heard it, look it up and let the words speak to your heart. God is always wanting our attention, but we get distracted and forgot how much we need Him, change your direction to Him, please.
"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord."
Psalms 89:15
And I heard God tug at my heart with, you do not understand my grace until I shine a light on it. Because you see little one you will not have grace without my son Because Jesus Christ is the one who goes before me he will give me the words when I ask, Lord let them see the heart you gave me because the heart you gave me is all for JESUS. If you knew me in my past you would not recognize me today because the old Mallory is dead. She knew darkness and needed Jesus and I remember how being hopeless feels like and I am not scared of anything any stranger could tell me. Let me ask you this though, you might hear about Jesus and know people who serve it but let's get personal. Do you have Him in your heart and have you surrendered to Him? Because the path can be narrow but God always holds our hands and can direct our steps. Never forget you are never alone, no matter where you are!
And
Psalms 119:130, "The unfolding of your words gives life it gives the understanding to the simple."
Our God is a very simple God we make Him complicated and we make grace complicated. He sent His one and Only son to die for us. God loves us enough that He gave us Grace on the Cross. Do not miss God's heart, especially during hard times and are you giving grace to others during storms? How much grace do you give yourself? Honestly? It can be a hard question to answer and I know for me I dig deeper into scriptures and challenge myself to get more vulnerable in my prayer life. The grit in life does not scare me when grace is involved in my walk, what about you? A simple hat gave me this title, but let me ask you this, do you have your helmet on? The helmet of salvation. Call me a Jesus Freak and all I am starting to talk about is the Gospel and my Jesus but let me remind you, it is all about Him more than yourself. I dare you to get out of your comfort zone and be the person He has called you to be. Are you free of the bondage of self? I dare you to look at the heart God gave you. Learn more about who you are and who He has created you to be and get over yourself and fall in love with Jesus. Do not miss an opportunity to show grace to yourself or your neighbor.
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Father God, please open this person's eyes and impact the reader in a way they have no idea, but Lord remind them with a mustard seed of faith you can move mountains, lord direct their thoughts and steps, lord wash over them peace where there is any fear Lord because fear is not from you, give them peace if they are in a storm give them the grace to keep going one step at a time during their grit. Open their eyes to see you, Jesus, in Jesus's name I pray Amen.
