Hello friends,
What's new this day? The mercies of God! They are new every morning.
I realized my purpose in life many years ago and although I felt as though I would never accomplish anything, God knew all along that I would seek Him and ultimately find Him. I remember Joseph's dream of coming to power. He did not know when that would take place and I'm not certain that he knew "if" it would in fact happen, but he found himself, many years later doing that which the Lord had promised early on. The Lord said to me, I'm giving you grace...I'm giving you grace...I wasn't the most graceful person in the world. Some would say I was down right mean. I never accepted that as truth in my life, because I knew my intentions were to simply maintain a level of integrity above others'. I had no idea what this grace would do for me and I was somewhat afraid of the pending deposit into my spirit. Would it make me soft? A wimp? Sappy? I didn't know and didn't want to know, but I can honestly say now that His grace has been sufficient for me in that it has kept me in times when I otherwise would not have been kept. I would have let go and probably have lost my mind to a nervous breakdown...Had it not been for His grace, I could not have endured the enemy's attacks on my home life, my faith, my family, finances, or physical body. His grace has brought the balance which I now have. It has provided a way for me to balance the boldness, stifle the attitude and address situations head on with grace, mercy and determination to find truth instead of being "right". I used to enjoy just being right. Now I enjoy being righteous! His grace has made me RIGHTEOUS!
