“Some how it seems that for a whole lot of people they want the gift of grace for themselves when they fall or fail..but when it comes to extending that grace out unto others they hold back a lot..it reminds me of the story in the bible where there was this man that owed this King some money..and it said he pleaded with him to be patient and that he would repay him..so the King was merciful and said that he would forgive him of his debt..but it goes on to saying that there was a man that owed that man money..and the man that was just forgiven of his debt would not forgive the man that owed him..so he had that man thrown into jail until his debt was paid in full..Matthew 18:21-35..it’s funny at how we think that grace is something that we own..or something that we can alter or give to whoever it is we feel is worthy of it..Amen..but I would have to come this morning to say to us all that God’s grace is a gift..it says least any man should boast..Ephesians 2:8-9..and I know that each of us have been given loads of grace in our lives..because well for one were not perfect..nor probably will we ever be this side of heaven..Amen..and secondly because we do live in a fallen world..and we still are in these sinful fleshly bodies..that’s why the Lord tells us to daily pick up our crosses and follow Him..Matthew 16:24-26/Luke 9:23..Praise the Lord!”

“But I just want to come to say that if you see your brother or sister in Christ fall..then by all means please be kind enough and compassionate enough to reach down and help them up..do not think that Gods grace isn’t for them..or that somehow there is a category for sin..because we all know that is just not so..because sin is sin..and other than looking down on them for whatever it is they have done..I would prefer that you would look at them with eyes of love..and that you would at that moment consider yourself and all that Christ has forgiven you for..and all the times the Lord has extended His grace and His hands of mercy out to you and your life..Amen..for now more than ever guys we all need to help one another along in this thing we call life..because the time and the days are getting shorter..and if someone is failing..well they may just need a little love and a little guidance..but what they don’t need is unforgiveness or unkindness from any of us..for you see God corrects us..and once again what is our job?..our job is to love all not merely few..and to share and spread the gospel of Christ as we journey along lives pathway’s together..for I love the song that says this..”The world will never hear our preaching if we stand here disagreeing..it’s by love..it’s by love!”..Amen..so be kind guys..and be caring..and more than anything be the Lord’s hands and the Lord’s feet extended out there to a lost and dying world in whom needs a Savior..and more than all of that..give God’s grace and His forgiveness to everyone..and I mean every single person it is that you meet or ever will meet along the way in your life..for then and only then will we be shining like we’ve never shined before for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..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
