Grace and change

Grace never stands alone, it is a part of the big picture.

Judgement tells me that I am a bad Christian or a bad person. I feel condemned. Grace accepts me where I am. I am loved by God.

Then something interesting happens. The change that others wanted to push on me, would never happen when they were pushing. I was resisting too much. But, when I am loved, when I am accepted just as I am, I can relax. I can heal. I can hear the voice of the spirit leading me.

That is when real change can happen. Grace heals people so that they can hear the spirit and follow in his time.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
