Forgiven




1 John 1:9

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 


Forgiveness. 

I daily marvel at the great love that God gave in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. 


For a long time I struggled to believe that God forgave me.

 “I am not worthy. I keep messing up. I don’t feel like a Christian.

Lord help me.”

God heard my prayer. 


Through the mercies of God I learned what grace is. 

For it is by grace through faith that I am forgiven. 

Grace. 

Amazing.

 Unworthy in and of myself. 

Saved and forgiven by

Worthy God. 

 

Forgiveness. 

Freely given. 

Freely received. 

This lesson enabled me to become a forgiving person. The more I understood the magnitude, the magnificence, of God’s  forgiveness, the more I wanted to live a life marked by such a characteristic. 


The lack of forgiveness towards others is one of those heavy weights that has to laid aside. 

An unforgiving spirit is a heavy load. 


How to get rid of it? Give it to God. He will enable that which He has commanded. 

Forgive even as God for Christ sake has forgiven you.


Forgiven.

I am set free. 


God bless.

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
