Believers. What has been your experience with Gods Grace. I will share my thoughts also.

When I was a kid I definitely believed in God. I prayed every night. For everyone I knew. I would list them all. When one of my israeli friends told me the difference between Israeli and Christian I just was like huh? To me it’s the same.

But when I started to get older I strayed from God. I wandered. Maybe not lost. But wandered. I was selfish. I knew he was still there. I just didn’t pray anymore. I didn’t talk to him. I had a bleak outlook on life.

And then I started to read the Bible again

And I was overwhelmed with Gods love

All i wanted to do was share Gods love with others

I wanted them to know that love

Because it’s an awesome amazing love

But I still didn’t have that strength of God. I didn’t have full confidence.

I didn’t have enough experience to fully trust God yet. Maybe I thought I trusted him. And maybe I thought fully I knew his love. But I had to experience life year after year walking in his love. Now I appreciate such love. It isn’t just saying Jesus loves me. It’s knowing it. And having comfort and peace from it. And knowing he has my back. (Which took a very long time.)

—————————————

We grow in Christ. Key word: Grow

It takes time to be confident in Gods protection.

How can we see his power if he doesn’t show us this power working through and around us everywhere. Each decision we make, God is there, directing, what he needs to happen, based on our decisions, to further his Kingdom and fulfill his plans and promises.

So we might know about Gods love. We might Experience Gods love. We might Embrace Gods love. We might Live Gods love. We might Share that love with others. And that is awesome!

But that doesn’t mean we have accepted and surrendered to his Amazing Grace. That we have full confidence God is not only protecting us, but he is in complete control. That he has angel armies all around us. That he won’t let the principalities in high places make a mockery of us.

————————————

Grace to me is something extremely supernatural.

God chooses to show us his Grace. Did we earn this? Some? Possibly. Maybe some souls encourage others. So maybe God is like I got you. But the Bible says you can’t earn salvation. It’s just a surrender to God and acceptance of Jesus. So we start learning about Grace by seeing we are helpless without God. And we learn about Grace by the blood of Jesus Christ. (his blood is over us. It is our strength and shield. It covers us completely.)

——————————————-

As I got older and older I started to really walk in Gods love again. I started praying again. I believed Gods love to be very real. I was so happy there exists such a love.

But I still didn’t fully grasp Gods grace yet.

I knew love. I knew Gods grace is amazing. I could give thanks to God for his Grace.

But I didn’t walk it yet.

It was only after I made silly mistakes

It was only after I fell into sin and screamed out for salvation

It was only after I was utterly defeated

That was when God showed up. He said son I got your back. Everyone makes mistakes. He said son every human sins. The fact you cry for salvation speaks volumes of your soul. He said son in your weakness I make you strong. He said son Temporary defeat leads to Eternal Victory. (Through Jesus)

I want to say,

before you think you need to do all these things to comprehend Gods grace. Just accept Jesus sacrifice and know he rose from the dead. Stay observant.

And.

Start by loving Jesus Christ!

Also I suggest going to confession even if your not Catholic. It’s humbling to share your sins with someone else.
