“One of the hardest things I believe as a child of God is to live your life in grace..God’s grace..Amen..living your life knowing that God loves you..and that He died for you..and you alone..living your life knowing that your not perfect but that you are forgiven..Amen..living your life knowing that you are free in this life..that everything good and perfect comes from our Father in heaven..James 1:17..living your life to please Him and His still small voice as He speaks to you and as He loves on you..Amen..for living in grace is a place that we find contentment in our lives..for it is by grace that we have been saved the word says least any man should boast..Ephesians 2:8..Amen..and for me it’s so easy to give others grace..but when it comes to myself it’s a hard subject for me..Amen..for sometimes we want so much to be right and live right and choose right..that when we fall short from others expectations..or even our own that we’ve made..than we fall apart in all aspects..we forget grace..and we begin to have guilt and shame upon us and our life in which we live..and we lose out and we lose joy and peace..and as well we lose our freedom in Christ..Amen!”

“So this morning I just came to us all to say this that God is for us regardless if we do fall down a thousand times He still loves and pursues us..does He want us to live our lives falling down?..not at all..He wants us to mature and grow up in Him and what He alone desires from us and our life..Amen..but when we do fall down and do things and make mistakes along the way..as we will..because we live in a fallen world..and were not perfect by no means..whatsoever..because we sin daily..each of us..Amen..but when we do I ask that in that moment that we sincerely ask of the Lord for forgiveness..and that as well we ask of ourselves for forgiveness and then we get up and we give ourselves grace..God amazing grace..and we don’t fall down and wallow there losing ourselves because of a mistake or something that we did..because you see even if we think something guys..that as well is sin..Amen..the haughty look..the proud spirit..the boastful attitude..that gossip..the murmuring..the complaining..the lustful eye..I mean honestly I could go on and on..its what we all do..so grace needs to be there in our lives..and at all times..Amen!”

“So don’t judge sin by what you think is sin..and don’t judge what you do by looking at another life and summing up their life to yours..and don’t think that there is somewhere along the lines as big sin little sin..because sin is sin..there is no in between..Amen..but my prayer and my heart is that we all extend grace to each other and that we all extend grace to ourselves..that we live here in this world and that we do love the Lord..and that we do the best we can while we are here..not constantly living in shame and guilt and condemnation..because the Lord has made us free in Him..and whom the Son sets free is free indeed..John 8:36..Amen..and the word says that now therefore there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus..Romans 8:1..Amen..so be free in your life..give yourself grace..and know that deep within your heart and your soul that Jesus loves you so much..that as the word says you are the apple of His eyes..Psalm 17:8..Amen..that He bottles your tears..Psalm 56:8..that He numbers the very hairs upon your head..Matthew 10:30/Luke 12:7..and that you are a child of God..and nothing can change that..Amen..for nothing the scripture says can separate us from the Lord and His hands of mercy and grace over us and our lives and our world in which we live..Romans 8:31-39..Amen..so be content in your life..and more than anything be free in who you are for Jesus..for you are His child and He alone is your Father..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
