Grace in the everyday!

Hello Dear Friends-
I hope this email finds you all well.
I've been away at a conference for the last few days but I kept you all in my thoughts. As we enjoy Holy Week, I wanted to share a message about grace in the face of everyday struggles. Let's use this time to reconnect with God and receive His blessings through our obedience. It can be hard to connect when you feel "out of sorts" but it's during these times when we need Him most for a refreshed spirit.

Stay blessed Dear Friends!

"AS MUCH AS IN YOU"
ROMANS 12:17, 18

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:17, 18)

If you are like most of us, it can be a hard thing not to respond to what is said and done to us. Many times, people, once they hear of your faith in Christ, or how you are trying to live right before God, will provoke and test you. Sometimes you will be successful in ignoring their taunts. But then there are those days in which we may be lacking in energy and are not as in tune with our spiritual side. It is then that we definitely need a boost of grace and God's Spirit.

When we fail to exhibit the qualities of our faith, and we have those moments of responding in a fleshly manner, don't be discouraged. Confess your faults before the Lord and press on. Our lives are in His hands and no one shall be able to separate us from His love. Let us tap into the power that lies within us that we can love as Christ loves us.

Prayer: Father, As we struggle with the pressures of everyday life, we ask for the grace and peace that we need to be overcomers through you. Forgive us of our shortcomings and failings and strengthen us to press on. In Jesus' name, amen.
