God's Love, Mercy and Grace

Hey all! I would like to speak specifically to those people who have fallen in God. First thing you need to know is that Christians aren’t perfect, only forgiven! This is an awesome concept. We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory, but his love covers a multitude of sins. If you are down in the pit now, it seems dark and that Gods love and forgiveness are out of sight, but I can assure you that he, at this very moment, is holding you in his loving arms, longing so much for you to turn to him and let him comfort you. Never give up, NEVER! We have all been there. I have been there, and its so lonely and miserable, and the reason it is that way, is we think we have to come out of it before we can talk to God again, feel his love again. Kind of like he won’t love us if we are dirty. It is in that very state wherein he loves us the most! We are the neediest of his love at that point. We need a comforter more than ever at that point. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly, so how much more now being a child will he freely give us all things. He sent the Holy Spirit to comfort us in those times, not to condemn, but to uplift. In your moment of most need, that’s when he longs to be needed the most. In his hour of worst pain and suffering, HE saw us on the cross, and that pulled him through. Likewise, in our greatest moment of trial, let us see him and he will pull us through! God is so good to us and more than ever when we don’t deserve it the most. In the middle of your sin, look to God, he understands. He isn’t mad, or shocked that you messed up, but he is longing so much to comfort you. Sometimes sin is hard to overcome, therefore we go through cycles of trying to make our minds change, or put in it is what impossible to do in the flesh, to have the right desires to do the right things. But to my amazement, the desire to do what’s right is already in us. It’s not something we develop. We have a born again spirit in us, one that has the desires of God. We still have a flesh part too, one that battles against the spirit part, and it’s a real battle. First of all, God sees your heart, he knows you desire to do what’s right, and if you don’t have victory over all of your problems, he knows it already. Even the most mature Christian has certain personality faults, although as you grow in God you will overcome more and more of them, but to God sin is sin. What he requires is for you to give him what you have in your hands. The little boy with the five loaves and two fishes brought Jesus what he had. Jesus had need of enough food to feed 5000 people, so the loaves weren’t much to offer. NO matter what that little boy done, he didn’t have enough strength to develop enough food for that requirement. So what he did was, give Jesus what he had and Jesus multiplied it to make it enough. WHAT GOD REQUIRES IS PERFECTION, BUT WE NONE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DEVELOP IT. Even when faced with the snags of sin, we have sometimes little strength left to fight it, but give Jesus what you have.......if only a desire to do what’s right and he will multiply it. All he requires is Your Heart. Give him what you have, it may be little, it may be next to nothing, but give it to him and he will make it great in Him! Lord we love you so much, thank you for your mercy and grace that covers us in our weaknesses and shortcomings. We thank you for your strength and power to develop in us what we don’t have and we thank you that you give us a fresh heart to love you with. Lord, there are so many of us who are wild for you on the inside, but things on the outside get in the way, Lord forgive us from our sins, and our transgressions. We thank you that you promised to love us and never leave us. We thank you that you are our Father, and a perfect father at that. Thanks for all the times you have forgiven us and all the times you will forgive us, and thanks for us always being on your mind. In Jesus name Amen!
