I literally have so many thoughts going through my head atm, and no idea where to start or how to formulate them into writing. Oh my goodness where to start? I haven't written in weeks! Hum hum hum. I guess I could start with just one word.
GRACE
I just looked it up on urban dictionary- I found a rather interesting response- Beauty, sunrises, singing birds, blossoming flowers. All those things that remind us why life is worth living.
As a Christian I see Grace as a gift God gave us in order to live our lives freely. giving kindness or love to someone despite their wrongdoings. Unmerited favor. <- this was another interpretation I found. Through Jesus dying on the cross we have eternal acceptance. :) I made the link in my head in which that Jesus is what reminds us that life is worth living. "I came to give you life, and life to the full." John 10:10.
Grace is what makes Christianity so different from any other religion. We are the religion that where it is not by our own efforts that we can connect with anything divinitive, it is just by Grace, the fact that God loves us anyway.
How many people do you reckon have forgotten that this is what our lives were meant to be about? Living freely and working for the kingdom of heaven. It's not supposed to be about doing things selfishly to make ourselves happy, and it's not about legalism. It's living a life in relationship with the Father above, and then through the help of the holy spirit living a life of our own choices in the freedom of the knowledge that the Father loves us no matter what. Gorgeous.
I'm not feeling well at all atm, caught this awful cold. So if this is not making sense then I apologise. But really all I wanted to say was this-
when preaching the gospel you are not to judge others, you are to bless them with the Grace that the Father has given us. It never has nor ever will be our place for judgement of our fellow men and friends, but simply the fact that God loves them, and we all need God. We each need God individually and just as much as the next person. let's stop judging and bless everyone. This world is in desperate need of grace. yup yup.
