Greetings my friends, this epiphany is for the twenty-seventh day of the eleventh month in the year 2010. I am giving thanks today for the Sufficient Grace that has been bestowed. In my human efforts to try to please a Holy God, every now and then I fall short. I would be lost, if it were not for the sufficiency of the Grace of God. Recently we talked about "good and plenty" in reference to the mercy of God. I have found that He also provides Sufficient Grace for my journey. My desire to live a life that pleases my savior, requires Sufficient Grace. I cannot earn this special favor; it is a gift from God. There is nothing I can do to repay Him for this Sufficient Grace. It is the Sufficient Grace that keeps me with a peaceful mind and content heart. Sufficient Grace holds back the punishment due to me for the displeasing behavior I exhibit on some occasions. If not for the Sufficient Grace of God...I would be lost, we would have no hope beyond this life. I thank God that sufficient grace does not expire. God is so faithful...He gives me favor, despite myself. I receive His grace and glory as the Psalmist wrote in Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. And my friend as we try to walk uprightly, and we find that we have challenges in doing so...just as God reminded Paul, Sufficient Grace is mine for the asking...and the strength of God is made perfect in my weakness. Be strong my friends, and dwell in the secret place of the Father's Sufficient Grace.
My sister-friends (and others), welcome to Springtime. It is the twenty-second day of the third month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). Today, the spirit of God reminded me that many beautiful things will Emerge , have emerged , from the fire. The end result of the fire will be an amazing truth that cannot be denied. The fiery trials...there are many, but to each his own. My fiery trial is not for you and yours is not for me. God has chosen us all for a unique and divine purpose. He must get a return on the investment He made in us. He invested so much love, talent, power, anointing in us...and His purpose for our lives must be, WILL be fulfilled. Through many dangers and Snares, through mountains high and valleys low, through increase and lack, God is determined that the best of me, the best of you will emerge . Our best self will come out of all of this "stuff of life". This journey is not without purpose. The fire has come, has gone and will come again....
