If you are discouraged this morning or disheartened, sad or disillusioned, then know this dear reader:

EPHESIANS 2: 4   “BUT GOD BEING RICH IN MERCY, BECAUSE OF THE GREAT LOVE WITH WHICH HE LOVED US, EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN OUR TRESPASSES, MADE US ALIVE TOGETHER WITH CHRIST – BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED.”

HIS grace is endless, boundless and it let’s us have it all.  By all I mean, even though we are sinful and broken, GOD still wants to have a relationship with each of us.  HE wants us to be part of HIS family and to lovingly call us HIS children.

We may never really understand why GOD chose us………when you realize your sins, you have to wonder why the GOD of the universe would want to have anything to do with you.  But we can be grateful for our adoption into this beautiful body of believers that is perfectly blended together.  It is a true gift of HIS grace and HIS salvation which is precious.

HIS grace then, let’s us have it all!  We have forgiveness, mercy, provision and love, but most of all we have JESUS.  GOD’S SON is the rock on which we can all stand knowing HE is our advocate and our precious cornerstone which is being built into a holy household.  When you follow JESUS, then you have it all!

PSALM 68:  5-6   “FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS, DEFENDER OF WIDOWS – THIS IS GOD, WHOSE DWELLING IS HOLY.  GOD PLACES THE LONELY IN FAMILIES; HE SETS THE PRISONERS FREE AND GIVES THEM JOY.”  NLT

I must say for me that Church right now is my favorite place to be.  I know and I feel very much a part of this Church family and our Pastor is big on family.   This Church family extends far beyond our individual Churches too………you will find that you can connect with other Christians anywhere across the globe.  Our Christian brothers and sisters are  adopted brothers and sisters!  I am an only child so this excites me knowing GOD has blessed me with such beautiful CHRISTIAN friendships too.  

Even my blog community here, and you know who you are, have been such a wonderful support of me and my writing.  I feel like we are a blogging family, all walking alongside one another as we write about GOD and our struggles.  We continuously check in with one another and leave each other loving comments.  It’s comforting to me to know they are there!  It’s just another part of this body of CHRIST that JESUS is putting together.  My fellow bloggers are all wonderful Christians I never would have known had GOD not led me here.  I am blessed!

HE LEADS US WITH GRACE AND MERCY AND PERFECTLY GIVES US JUST WHAT WE NEED.

Our gracious GOD gives us truly all we need, so remind yourself today that HIS grace let’s you have it all………for now and for all of eternity!  Having it all is just that, eternal purpose and an eternal home and family.

PSALM 27: 1   “THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION – WHOM SHALL I FEAR?  THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE – WHOM SHALL I DREAD?
