Grace and peace

Dear Friends-
Hello! I'm sorry that I've been offline for the last few weeks but my new schedule has made it difficult for me to send you these messages. Please pray for me because I believe that sharing these messages is the most important thing I do as a Christian.
Thankfully, I had time today.

Despite the busyness- and the occasional curveballs that life throws our way- the Lord gives us His Grace (His Divine power and favor) to move us through our challenges.
Grace keeps us from going crazy when we just can't take any more. Grace keeps us from making irrational or dangerous decisions when we receive life altering news.
Grace keeps us strong when all we want to do is fall apart.
Whenever we become troubled by the difficulties of life and we wonder, 'what's it all for?', now we have an answer. It's because the Lord wants us to rely only on Him. He gives us His grace everyday so that we can keep going and achieve His purpose.

Please enjoy the scriptures below.

Stay blessed and stay in prayer for each other. Some of us are on the verge of a major breakthrough and others will be blessed by a long awaited 'Aha' after a long period of confusion.
Love to you all,
K.

Psalm 84

¹ How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
² I long, yes, I faint with longing
to enter the courts of the Lord.
With my whole being, body and soul,
I will shout joyfully to the living God.
³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God!
⁴ What joy for those who can live in your house,
always singing your praises.Interlude

⁵ What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord,
who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
⁶ When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,^[b]
it will become a place of refreshing springs.
The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.
⁷ They will continue to grow stronger,
and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.^[c]

⁸ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, O God of Jacob.Interlude

⁹ O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
Show favor to the one you have anointed.

¹⁰ A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
¹¹ For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right.
¹² O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
what joy for those who trust in you.
