Enough

Titus 3:4-7
4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

— there a way that is born of humility. Away where it's not of giving because we earn or pay our way, yet because we were given. The failure comes when we act as if we deserve this or that. Do I deserve to wake up? Do I deserve to have this or that because I did something good?  2 words, mercy and grace...... Nothing more.......
Mercy- Compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within ones power to punish or harm (dictionary definition)

Grace- (in Christian belief) the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings

Hm, the question is, if I truly believe in the grace and mercy, then what am I living for? To earn something or to give it all in thanks for what I didn't / don't deserve ? If God said, "hey, from now on, no 'good' will happen, everyone will leave you, betray you, you will lose everything in life, but you have grace and mercy." Is that enough?


Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. - Ps. 51:12

Well, God, another day..... Um, so, hmmmm, it was gorgeous ! Thank you for it. I think, I'm seein some stuff, You gave me some open lanes to throw in some witnessing, hopefully I didn't mess it up that much. It felt great to say something, so much now is "believe what you want, don't step on any toes." "I believe this is REALLY what is meant.....God couldn't possibly mean it like its said. I like my way better......"
Not scared as much to step on toes, but also not arguing with my own personal arguments. In fact, um, its kinda, no it IS so unburdening to just say...."God says this, doesn't matter if i like it, it just is." Ok, I go, but protect and help her, her family. Help the church grow, strengthen the heart in laying it all in front of you. Grace and mercy are enough, thank You for your love.
