Have you ever come to a point where you are just about to give up. Maybe you even sigh underneath your breath – I give up? Has life hit its toil on you. Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? Have you lost your fight in you to keep on going? Yes? Keep reading you are not here by accident.
Romans 11:6 (AMP)
But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and mercy). It is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise grace would no longer be grace (it would be meaningless)
I am so happy that Grace has been made
available to us. When Grace steps in our lives – it gives enabling power to do what in our own self are incapable of doing. If we had it all figured out we would not need grace to operate in our lives. Its by grace we are saved. Its by grace we are still living even when things around us may have been demanding death from us. It is grace that sustains us in our limited human nature . Grace says – step aside and allow God to step in and take over.
Whether you are at work or school or in a relationship situation – Allow God’s Grace to operate on your behalf. The reason why we are sometimes burnt out, stressed, broke and depressed is because we are trying to get things done in our own strength – for things that only God is capable of taking care of. Someone once said “If you and I are into our own works, then we are operating outside of Grace”. If we embrace Grace – we step outside of the situation and allow Holy Spirit our Enabler to step in and work on our behalf.
You can’t make everyone love you – its God’s Grace that makes you find favor with man. When we operate outside of Grace we bound to get frustrated, tired and want to give up. It’s only God’s Grace that enables you to do what needs to be done in the time frame it needs to be done – And to do it right.
Outside of Grace I am at my worst – but in Grace I am more than a conqueror, I am victorious, I am virtuous, I am complete in Grace.
When you find yourself close to having a breakdown – whether its a family issue, relationship issue, medical issue, financial issue, educational issue, work issue, ministry issue, immigration issue, marriage issue, children issue … Whatever the issue maybe – I want to encourage you to take your hands off – commit the issue to the Lord in total surrender and let God’s Grace step in to work for you.
Scripture says “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans”-Proverbs 16:3 (NIV). Grace has been freely made available to us. So let Christ take over and His Strength become your enabling power to endure, to keep standing, to stay focused, to remain in Him knowing that – all will work out for your good because the creator of the Universe is on your side. Friend, Whatever it is that has been troubling you, or has been making you feel inferior or lesser of a person – I want to encourage you to come to the table of Grace and give it all to God. He wants to take care of your cares, your worries, your anxieties, your weaknesses … whatever it is – Let GRACE take over.
Take a moment to say these simple words – “Jesus I need your Grace right now. Jesus I need your Grace right now, Jesus I need your Grace right now”. The grace you need for your today is just a prayer away. Call on God AND let Him be your ENOUGH Grace to pull you through. Be encouraged 🙂
