Redeemed be His Grace



What this words means to me...

𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 brings to mind the life I lead before Christ was empty. I was self seeking and lost. I struggled with the bondage of guilt and shame.  It honestly crippled me from most things.  ⁣
I heard this quote that resonated with me about sin and I am paraphrasing because I couldn’t find it again to share with you. ⁣

“𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘥.”  𝘛𝘪𝘮 𝘒𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 ⁣

Is that why I confessed my sins but never left the shame and guilt behind?  I think so. It took me years to leave it all at the feet of Jesus.  Trusting God is daily dying to self and a surrender.  My natural bent is to take control but God has walked beside me and shown me that I have no control. It is all Him in my life redeeming it and holding me together and my family together by His grace. ⁣
Satan like a thief is still trying to destroy what God is doing in our life But Jesus is greater!  ⁣
When I pray now I believe God. I know that He has taken all of my sins yesterday and everyday and is continuing to sanctify me for His kingdom.   ⁣
This scripture from Corinthians is a reminder that when we repent and rid our heart of pride we will be free and saved!  Don’t let pride or surrender keep you separated from Gods goodness. ⁣

“𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩.”⁣
𝟸 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝟽:𝟷𝟶 ⁣

Bless you friends! ⁣
