The Word of God.

" For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope- the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." Titus 2:11-14

His grace brings SALVATION to us. ALL of us. How glorious is that?!
salvation- the act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, destruction, etc
              -deliverance from the power and penalty of sin, REDEMPTION.
this teaches us to live a life for Jesus, serving and glorifying him in all that we do until he comes BACK! Because he is coming back, and shouldn't we be doing thy good works while we wait? He died so that we could be here today, so that we could live a life freed from suffering, so shouldn't we do just that?

He has called us all to be apart of his kingdom, to feel the love of our Father so deeply and have it consume us. It's up to us to listen and realize what we and our family and friends are missing out on...a beautiful relationship to an amazing savior who never stops loving us, caring for us, and he never forsakes us. THAT, is a perfect relationship. Why miss out?

I feel so blessed to be apart of a community who help me to do just that. I'm never alone in my journey, and I'm never fighting the devil without an army.

This christmas season has given me a lot of patience, a lot of time to reflect on my last semester, and a lot of time to look forward to my future. I anxious a lot, not really knowing what is coming, but I do know that the Lord is in control and will lead me to where I need to be. Being content in that, being sure of that, brings me peace. I am no longer going off of my vision for my life, rather the reality of my life. Jesus IS reality. If I give myself so many visions or expectations, I will always fail, I will never feel good enough. I am great just the way I am, and Jesus lets me know that every day.

" Tune my heart to sing thy grace."
