Grace

 Every Page Before A Man Was Defeated. Every Page Before Was A Life Off The Tracks, Every Page Before Was A Record Of Failures, I Was On My Knees And You Heard My Plea, And Now I'm Pardoned, My Slate Is Wiped Clean, Pardoned, The Old Me Is History, I'm Pardoned, Pardoned By Grace. Part of these lyrics come from a movie called Pardoned By Grace, which is the name of this song. It also can be viewed on Pureflix for anyone that would like to watch it. Romans 11 verse 6, Hebrews 4 verse 16, John 1 verse 16, Titus 2 verse 11-14, 2 Timothy 2 verse 1, John 1 verse 17, 2 Peter 3 verse 18, 1 Peter 5 verse 10, 2 Timothy 4 verse 22, 2 Corinthians 8 verse 7, Acts 4 verse 33, Numbers 6 verse 25, Hebrews 13 verse 9, Acts 20 verse 24, Acts 20 verse 32, 2 Peter 1 verse 2, Romans 6 verse 1-4, Revelation 22 verse 21, Genesis 6 verse 8, 1 Peter 5 verse 5, Romans 3 verse 23-24, Ephesians 1 verse 6, and Titus 3 verse 7. In the scriptures we can see how God gives Grace, Mercy, and how we can have Love in our Savior who shows humbleness with Grace in our Hearts, and how we are Beloved children saved by Grace. I want to share something I heard in a sermon from The Roots Community Church in Lacey Washington. Here is what someone said from a previous sermon that the pastor preaching this week said and shared with the church, that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, and not by works. I also want to share a song called Grace Upon Grace by Matthew West. What reason do I have to wake up with the rising sun And not be held down by the weight of all the things I've done? What reason do I have to feel this hope instead of hurt? How can it be I don't receive the judgement I deserve? Wave upon wave of grace upon grace, Endlessly washing my sins away, I know the only reason I can stand here free of all my shame, Is wave upon wave of grace upon grace upon grace, How can you see me at my worst and still say I am loved?, What promise can I stand on when I don't feel good enough?, When the enemy's reminding me of all that I've done wrong, What freedom do I have to sing this new creation song?, Wave upon wave of grace upon grace, Endlessly washing my sins away, I know the only reason I can stand here free of all my shame, Is wave upon wave of grace upon grace upon grace. Grace is the enabling Gift Of God not to sin Grace is Power not just pardon. ''Grace carried me here, and by Grace I'll carry on.'' The will of God can never lead you where the Grace of God cannot keep you. We are born broken. We live mending. The Grace Of God is the glue. In all of this we see how Grace with God can bring us to what we need in our Faith and Relationship journey and we know that we can have Grace by the Mercies that are new every morning in what we do to know that our God is bigger than our Fears that might stop us receiving the Sufficient Grace we need.
