Appreciate God's Grace

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well.  As I sit here and think about today, I can't help but thank God for giving me an opportunity to live another day.  We can't take nothing for granted and everyday God shows us His love and divine mercy.  We hear and see all kinds of things but the fact that we're here again is truly a blessing and it's important that we appreciate God's grace.  

It's so easy to get caught up in the world because the stresses of life can put a toll on our lives, but we have to learn to be strong and take on the trials so that we can grow in wisdom and understanding. The whole purpose of life is to serve and try to walk the path that God chose for us but in serving, there are sacrifices.  Jesus said "He's here always with us" so we have to understand that it's time to have peace through all things and not worry about situations  that happen on our journey.

God has taught me that whatever I'm dealing with in life, that too shall pass and if I can just trust Him, hold on when the storms come, He will show me the way.  God has a plan and He works through us to complete the plan but we have to accept the grace.  Grace comes in good and bad times.  The good times are when we can clearly see the grace, everything is going well.  However; the bad times come when we can't see the grace and we think our lives are chaotic.  Well, that's when we really need to thank God for the trial because He's working it to make our lives better.  If everything was great all the time, how can we learn anything.? God looks at our hearts so when we have to go through things, He teaches us how to move to the next level.

When that happens, we're getting closer to God and closer to being happy.  God's grace is precious and when we acknowledge and appreciate the blessings, we have joy in our lives and able to take on whatever with love in our hearts.  Let's continue to appreciate it all each day and know that it's only God's grace that we're able to see another day and when the storm come,  that too shall pass.  

Amen and Thank You Lord.
