GraceNotes

Sometimes the words that move us forward, that get us off the fence, that bring us to life-choice decision points, are hard to hear and challenging to our assumptions.

I rejoice in a God whose love, mercy, and grace are stronger than the lapses and failures of a struggling man, and more real than the accusing arguments of religion!

Very relevant question for me: When I have God’s word and his promise to me, do I simply believe what he has said and immediately begin to act as if it is true?

Some folks are wishing things could be just as they were all those years ago – that what we had then could be “re-created” for us now.

We must decide – and this is never easy – if we will believe in “either-or” mode or in “both-and” mode.

What a privilege to partner with God in fulfilling his purposes by reminding him to remember!

It’s Show And Tell Time! God’s giving us Time and Opportunity to change!

I marvel at the love of God and the willingness of Jesus Christ to suffer and sacrifice for me.

God has so faithfully spoken encouragement to us that the days ahead will remain very fruitful in service to his Kingdom and in ministry to others.

It’s good to be reminded that there is someone who is willing to carry burdens for us because he cares about us. God cares about me. God cares about you.
