Accepting His Grace & Mercy

Accepting the Grace and mercy to turn mistakes, failures into life lessons to grow and become better for abundant life for you and others takes willingness, practice, obedience and the Spirit of God.  If we make a mistake or find ourselves in relationships that do not work, business ventures that do not pan out.  Don’t beat yourself up receive God’s forgiveness and mercy, and forgive yourself for the failure, mistake, etc.  Life is full of learning processes.  As long as you are always willing to accept your defeats as temporary setbacks, or your mistakes as ways to learn, repent and mature than you are on the right track. 

So often we get stuck in our past, continually living out and through our past negative events that we do not really live.  We do not allow God to be God in our lives and receive the mercy He desires to bestow us and receive the grace, mercy and Spirit lead guidance to move on and up in life.  We are not perfect.  We are human beings and we will not always get things perfect.  This also goes when others let us down and we stay stuck and we allow the fact that we allowed someone through our own needs and desires to dupe us, use us , take advantage of us, or just keep us from excelling.  Forgive them, forgive yourself and ask the Spirit to bring healing by identifying the shortcoming and ask the Spirit how you can achieve a successful going forward and up out of this negative experience.  He will show you and guide you; you just have to ask.

The power to always becoming better than the day before is not a cliché.  It is true.  Daily time of prayer and reflection allows God to speak to you and help you be all that He desires for you.  This takes willingness, obedience, and commitment to a Spirit led life.  It may take an assertive effort and working and maneuvering of your schedule until you find the right time to allocate daily.  Early morning is great but it is not for everyone.  It may be different on different times of the week or split throughout the day.  If it is a dreaded time for you than you will be merely showing up and not really being present with God and you will not be able to give and receive the proper and anointed exchange that God really wants from and for you.  There is a reason that the bible says work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  Your walk with the Lord and yourself is PERSONAL.  That is why it is referred to as a ‘Personal Relationship With the Lord’.  The Lord loves you and desires an intimate and just you and Him relationship that is unique and fresh.  Your desire to be with Him makes it sweet as perfume to Him.  The abundant life that is full, blessed, and anointed comes with your personal relationship with the Lord and your willingness to take all your cares, burdens, shortcomings, as well as your victories to the Lord.  He will never leave you nor forsake you and His only desire is to love you and have your life be one of righteousness and victory with and in Him.  

 Be blessed this day in all ways,

 In His Service,
