Fall Back Into Grace

At times, I struggle with perfection. And as a Christian, I fall into the lies that God wants me to fix or get things right all on my own—like He is just sitting back waiting for me to figure it out. But if we are completely honest with ourselves, there will be times when we truly don’t know what to do and don’t know the right words to say. And that’s when God’s Grace kicks in.

It’s okay not to be right all the time. That’s why we need Him.

Don’t fight grace, fall back into it. That’s what it is there for. It’s a safety net and it frees you from yourself. He has it all under control anyways so let Him have control.

Be Still

Become comfortable being still. Our lifestyles can sometimes make us feel guilty for resting or taking a moment to do absolutely nothing. But God gives us permission to literally BE STILL—He commands it because He knows we can overwhelm and overwork ourselves trying to take care of everything by ourselves. Taking the time to be still and be in His presence invites God back into our situation. It puts Him back on the throne.

In His presence, all God wants us to do is give our undivided attention to Him. We can take 5 minutes or 5 hours thanking Him, praising Him, singing to Him, or talking to Him—whatever your heart and the Holy Spirit leads you to do is pleasing to Him. BE STILL and experience the everlasting peace, calm, love, and joy from our God.

Real Love

There is nothing you can do to stop God from loving you. He loves you beyond your sins and flaws. He doesn't give up on you and his arms are always open, ready to receive you.

God delights in you. Because of His Son, Jesus Christ, you are His heir and He wants you to live like so. He offers you His favor and peace. No matter what struggles you face, God loves you too much to allow you to stay in a bad situation and suffer more than you can handle. He restores your losses and blesses you with more than you can imagine. His desire is for you to be victorious in every area of your life.

You are not shamed, but loved. God's love for you is faithful, unfailing, sustainable, and everlasting. It is powerful and enduring, and He gives it to you freely. 1 John 4:91-10 “God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”

Romans 8:38-39“ For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Numbers 6:25-26 “May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” ​ #RealLove #GodIsLove #LivingThroughHope ​
