Friend, do you look for great and grand things from God when you desire His input in your life?

Many of us do, and we miss the wonderful words He gives us because we think He should speak to us in great and grand gestures as if in a Shakespearean play.

But friend, God speaks simply, so as to confuse those who seek the great and grand.

A simple "My Grace is sufficient" are words only God can use.

I cannot say it to anyone, nor can anyone say it to me, and I take it seriously.

But, when God says it, then I am bolted to the floor!

From God, that little sentence is EVERYTHING!

Wouldn't you agree?

It is a sentence to meditate upon.

His Grace is sufficient.

His Grace is sufficient for you.

His Grace is sufficient for me.

These Words should fill us with Joy.

Hope for our souls springs from these Words!

Friend, do not despair, or sorrow in any way. His Grace is sufficient for you in any circumstance.

Just keep going forward in His Grace and believing He is making the Way clear for you.

God in the form of Jesus, has done all the work necessary for your soul to be reunited with the Father.

Just believe.

Friend, you may at times think that God does not love you because something has happened to you or in your life that you do not like.

An illness, a loss, a trial of some kind, poverty, all these things and more may be your burdens, but God can use them if you allow Him, to bring about great change for the good in your life.

Straining against the yoke of the burden will only bring more of the same. This is the domain of evil. They love to hear you rail against God and lower your soul to their level. They work against you day and night to bring your last breath closer, so that when you depart this life, you will be theirs.

Evil is the encourager of suicide and murder. God is never the instigator or perpetrator of evil.

But when we wilfully follow evil's lead, then He allows us to do so, while trying with all His Might to stop you from making those choices and also carrying them out.

But, if we are Hell bent, then it is to Hell we will go.

We wander through this life taking all kinds of crazy paths full of twists and turns, dark alleyways, rocky roads, rarely smooth sailing, and God is always shining His Light for us but in our madness, all we see are small glimmers of it, if that.

But, friend, be assured, God loves you and is calling to you to stop and begin to see Who He is.

His Love for you is so profound that when you understand what He has done for you, you will have sorrow for yourself, for how you have lived. But in His Great Mercy and Grace, you will be Loved and made new.

Never doubt His Love for you, never.

Friend, cast your cares upon the Lord and be at peace.

He knows all your anxieties, struggles and trials. He is working in the spiritual realm and causing all things to come together for good for you.

The Lord gives to us not as the world gives with materialistic things, but He gives us the better blessing; spiritual growth.

This spiritual growth causes us to have the ability to know that He is All Powerful and above all things; He is our Provider and Healer, He loves us with an everlasting Love, and His Peace and Wisdom is available to us.

Today just fall back into His arms and know that He will catch you. Let the world do it's evil thing and watch what God can do when we place our trust in Him.

Be encouraged and uplifted in your spirit for God loves you. Holy God loves you!

Friend, are you desiring to be admitted to the Kingdom of God and finding it difficult?

Is everything you do or think an obstacle because you cannot seem to stay focused, and make your new knowledge the driver of your soul's new path to Freedom in Christ?

John Bunyan a great writer who wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, describes it as a "sinking". He says he felt he was always "sinking".

He saw others around him as being way more stable in their lives and faith than himself, and it caused him great concern for his own saved state that he so desired to have a firm hold of.

He recognized himself as a wretch; so profoundly a sinner striving minute by minute to stay the course with the Lord Jesus.

One day in despair and about to give up all hope and return to his evil ways, he heard a voice within clearly speak to him, "This sin is not unto death."

This would be the second death when all who have rejected Jesus (as the Son of God and therefore the Word of God, Holy Spiit, and God), as the Bible states, will receive their just punishment; eternal death, removed from the presence of God and living in Hell which has been prepared for them.

Bunyan was so overwhelmed by these words that came to him as Truth and Peace for his soul; the timing being of so great in importance to him, that he had no doubt that God was not condemning him, as he himself had been condemning his sinful infractions of the Law.

He now saw that he could approach Jesus in a different manner. That of Saviour who would forgive Him, time and time again if he was repentant and humble.     

Friend, the sin that cannot be forgiven is the denial of the Lord Jesus when God has a Plan for you to become a child of His in the Kingdom and you will not listen or learn of His Son whom He sent to die on your behalf, to have your sins forgiven.

He knows after we receive forgiveness that we are a work in progress, and we are in need of guidance and forgiveness for the slip-ups we make. As long as we repent and recognize our sin we will be forgiven for those new sins as well.

It's when we stop and say "To hell with this, I'm not walking this Path any longer" that God is pushed away from us, by our own free will choice.

So friend, don't be too hard on yourself. Christ died for your sins before you received Salvation and for those in the future, that are not wilful and habitual but slipups and regrettable in nature.

Consider yourself on a par with other believers who are climbing up the mountain to reach God, learning as they go along to be humble, contrite and joyful because of the great Sacrifice of our Lord for our souls to be redeemed from the clutches of evil.

Friend, listen for that still small voice within and be overjoyed for the Love and Mercy that has been shown to you by the One who holds your future in His hands..

Friend, we cannot expect to be spiritual if we only live for the exterior things in life.

Our soul cries out for nourishment but is seldom satisfied, because we give it exterior things that make only, the flesh happy.

But the soul lives in the interior and needs it's nourishment from the One who created it.

God asks us to be the one who lives for the inner spiritual life. And we have to do it while walking through our earth life. This factor makes it very difficult to do when we do not involve Him in the process.

He has to be the One who leads. He is the One who knows the Way. He is familiar with all our faults and knows how to untangle them so that we have a joyful inner experience even while the flesh may suffer.

Friend, be encouraged and uplifted in your soul by the renewing of your mind by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus died for you to have this Gift of inner Knowledge and to realize Truth and Wisdom; to know Love and Peace in the interior of our soul.

Let today be the day when you can make a mark on your calender. Let it be a day of remembrance; when you finally accepted Him (Jesus) as your Saviour, and immersed yourself in the belief that He is God; and began your spiritual journey with the Holy Spirit.

Friend, many of us have felt helpless.

Jesus loves us in this state. It comes about when we are ready to look at any help we can get for our situation.

He is always there waiting for us to answer His call. He has put the angels to work, to watch over us, and to throw gems of wisdom and Godly help in our path.

Many times we do not see these opportunities for help in our helplessness, but, they are there.

God is always for us and trying to reveal His Goodness to us.

It is we, ourselves who have our head turned away and are rebellious, not wanting to accept "that" help!

But, friend, this is the help we all need. We will be sorry when we stand before Him at the Judgement and see all the instances when He was for us and offered help that we always rejected.

Jesus does not want us to stay in this helpless situation. He wants to pull us out of the mire, but if we do not take that Godly hand and grasp onto it, we will not move forward on the Righteous Path.

But, friend, He does love our helplessness because it gives Him a chance to help us; our spirits at this juncture in our lives, now willing to see and hear  Godly spiritual things.

Take a look back at your life and think if you had made a different choice, where would you be now.

Yes, He loves the helpless just so He can be the Helper to them and He will be appreciated and recognized for Who He is.
