Your Grace is Enough.

Your grace is enough. I know I say this phrase at least 60 times a day in my mind, over and over. Your grace is enough, your grace is enough, your grace is ENOUGH. But do I ever believe it, yes I do, but the way I think and the way I act make it seem as if I don't believe something I say constantly. Day by day, I always feel like I need something new, something I don't have, and usually something I don't need. And I go get it to satisfy my needs, but how long does that satisfaction last until I depend on some other new thing? About a day, maybe two. But Hebrews 13:5 says, Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you." So if God is with us always, and if he is enough and probably more then we will ever need, why do I get these crazy needs for something more then his grace? Because the devil is here to "kill, steal, and destroy" and that is all he is here to do, to destroy my knowledge that God is enough. Knowing God is everything, and knowing the devil gets you nowhere. Sometimes it gets extremely hard to follow after the creator of our life, but if we become content with what he gives us, then life in general will become more and more easier to accept the things we do not have, and know that we don't need them. God is working tremendously in so many lives recently, and I just pray that we can all follow the one that gave us a life, and promised us forever in his glorious kingdom. 


For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:16-17

You make Oceans from the Rain

I don't know what it is about this morning, but God woke me up bright and early at 6, when normally i'm maybe up at 7. First thing I did when I woke up, was pray. Got in the shower, prayed again. Opened my laptop and Walk by Faith was playing. God is just amazing this morning, every day, every second, actually. I feel like he picks me up off the ground, kicks my butt and keeps me going every single day. I don't deserve his unfailing grace but i'm SO glad he keeps giving it to me. I feel like God is starting to place things in my heart and my life that are bigger than I could ever be, and that's okay with me because I know whatever he's up to, and whatever he puts on my heart, he'll walk me through it step by step. The man upstairs with the ultimate plan is truly amazing and inspiring. I wish and pray that every person on this Earth could experience his wonderful mercy, wouldn't that be awesome, a world that was so in love with God that the devil couldn't even think about coming out of the gates of hell? I'm so thankful to have such an AMAZING heavenly father!

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
