Redeemed be His Grace

Redeemed Bracelet

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.”⁣

Bless you friends! ⁣

Ready to Start a New Bible Study?

Handmade knits by tracy

Hello friends!

 I have missed discussing a book of the Bible with you. It has been awhile. So lets start this year by walking through the book of Psalms together. I have the Breathe study from Well Women Co and its a lovely study. It walks through Psalms and I thought this time of Lent leading us into Easter would be a perfect time to do this/  

All 150 chapters of Psalms are praise and prayers to God and points us to Him.  

I think most of us women can relate to the emotional side of Psalms too. As we read and pray through this book, let us write out our feelings and any thing we may be going through. I believe God has something good for each of us this month as we read together. 

You may be wondering, how do I start? 

 Here are the details to join us on the Facebook page  and the start date is March 1st

This study will take place in a private facebook group HERE, Knit the Gospel into your Heart

(Please answer the questions when prompted because this will let me know you want to be added.)

If this is your first time to dig deep into studying a book of the Bible. Then let me share alittle how I like to study.  It is easy to feel stuck when reading scripture but when you have a few questions to ask and answer it leads to more questions right. Then before you know it you have learned so much more about the context.  

Here is a Link the printable for some guidance into inductive bible study method that has helped me!

I am excited to start this study with you friend. I hope you are too! 

See you in the group!

God the Master Gardener

The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east and there He placed the man He had formed.  Genesis 2:8 ESV 

This verse spoke volumes to me as I have been gardening for about a year now.  The garden is planted and then the gardener nurtures and tends the soil for growth.  

God is the master gardener. He planted those first seeds for growth.  We were planted to grow into His image bearers. The seed is planted in us and if we seek the Living water, Jesus Christ, we will grow in spiritual maturity in Christ.  

I realize we all are in different paths of our faith walk and for a very long time I was seeking bad soil and running away from the light.  Maybe you are too? Maybe you are wondering how to grow? 

Let me share today that God the Father who created the world in 6 days is the God who desires for us to still walk with Him.  So no matter the place of maturity you are in just come to Him.  He isn’t disappointed in you. 

Growing means seeking God daily in relationship. How? 

Read His words. They are the only truth in life. 

Pray for guidance and let His Spirit lead you. 

Wait.  Wait for the sprouts of fruit to fill your heart like the joy knowing God loves you no matter what, peace knowing even when you don’t understand God is with you and is all knowing and the love that doesn’t leave you or condemn you.  

Our lives were made for growth and to share it with those around you.  

Do you see the Gardener in your life planting seeds?    He wants to tend to you and nurture you too.  

Have a blessed day friends😘
