Jesus. My best friend. Life comes alive in your name. I’m so in love with you. Simply. You make my heart cry “Abba, Father”. A brand new start to everyday. It’s like I never had life before. I wake and fear nothing. Not man, not death, not a situation. It’s a new life. Everyday. I have Jesus. You are everything. Your are my song and salvation. A clear conscience with a purified heart dwelled in truth. It is who I am. A son is all I will ever be. My mind is full of Truth and Grace. If we read in 1 Peter “Set your hope fully on Grace.” It’s not to use grace to run from the Father. It is grace to run to the Father. Once your set free in Christ. God will righteously convict you. He is convicting to sanctify you to right standing with him. He uses conviction to trim the branches to make us holy and full of fruit. We don’t get condemned because of grace. Truth is what sets us free, grace keeps us in right standing. God wants us to be pure and have relationship with him. It’s all about knowing your identity. Remember who you are and you will endure any suffering that comes into your life. Let the truth of who you are set you free. We hear at the end of Peter “At the end of suffering God will confirm, strengthen, and establish you in the Kingdom”. God uses suffering to draw us closer to Jesus. In Romans 5 we hear “Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope in Jesus”. Endurance, God was talking about our will to fight for him. Fighting for right standing. Knowing the truth and grace under suffering. We are called to live as Christ. Knowing the Father in relationship. We endure and go deeper and our faith becomes stronger. God reveals more of his character in us through hope. He who knew no sin became sin so we can walk out a pure life. We have the love of God. Simply remembering who we are. We have the same mind of Christ. Our mind is being renewed daily. I’ve lately been dwelling on the fruits of the spirit and found the more God reveals his glory. I become humble, patient, gentle, grateful, have more self control, and dwell in peace. Trust and abide in him. We are called to live exactly like Jesus and we have same veil as Moses had lifted in our life. Glorify Jesus and your glorifying the Father. I can’t afford to know what Jesus did. Not to tell anyone or walk it out. Jesus consumes every part of me. Jesus is simply enough. He has so much freedom for us. You’ll never be free holding onto anything. Let grace and truth set you free. Never forget who you are. Jesus you are my love. Your simply enough. You are Grace and Truth.
Update:
Truth and Grace. You can’t have one without the other. God had me share a thought as we are stuck in our place because riots, fires, and government issues. Pray for Lebanon! We had a fire right outside of our place. There was 114 fires set in a short time. We are here for a week and take off to Jordan. God is faithful. God is good! Fear not today.
