"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn written by John Newton an English poet and clergyman (1725–1807), and published in 1779.
With a message that forgiveness and redemption is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God.
"Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognized songs in the English-speaking world.
Although this is a more modern rendition of the song, basically the message is the same.
I personally, love this song.
It is one of my favorite songs, ever.
I feel personally attached to it. As though it were written for me. Then I am sure this is the case for many and thus the reason for it's world wide popularity.
I remember all too well where I was when Jesus found me.
I also remember where I was the next time He found me.....and the next time.....and the next time.....and the next time.......oh and yes the next time....I think you get my point?
God's Grace
God's infinite grace.
It's never runs out.
There's no sin it's can't wash away.
It's always there when we need it.
It is our covering.
It - is - Jesus
And I am thankful for Him.
For Grace.Because Papa God - sees me through Him.
I would not have access to my Heavenly Father without my Jesus covering.
I need Grace - EVERY day.
I will be the first to admit -
I am not perfect. I wasn't when He found me. Still to this day, I am not.
Although, I am closer to looking like the image of Jesus now than I was when He found me.
I am still human in nature and am not perfect.
It is only by the GRACE of God - His Mercy and Love that I
(or anyone else for that matter) am able to come into the presence of God.
Through Jesus - the living and written Word - I strive daily to reach my goal to become more like Jesus.
Thee Word of God tells us in the Gospel of Luke 18:19 that, " No one is good - except God alone."
A Song for Jennifer
and
Every other precious beautiful child of God that receives these words from Heaven!
My love is here for you
To help comfort and see you through.
And I will always be here
By your side.
You don't have to worry that I'll leave you.
You don't have to worry that I'm ashamed.
Everything in your past has died and now buried.
Nothing ~ nothing can keep me away from you.
Once I searched the world for you
And now that I've found you.
I'll never, ever leave you alone.
Now, that you're safe at home.
That's why I gave my life on Calvary.
So you could live at home with me.
No more captivity.
My love has set you free.
It was my life; that paid the price.
It was my blood; that cleansed your soul.
It is my love; that makes you whole.
Don't you know?
Come to me now, my precious child.
Let me hold you within my arms, precious child.
Let me wipe every teardrop.
Calm the fear deep within.
Let me warm your soul, and let you know,
I love you so.
Remembering always that Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
and.... " if we live by the Spirit we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." Galatians 5:16
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9
***
My heart is grieved beyond comfort because the enemy has been successful in breeding divisions in the body of Christ through the spirit of self righteousness. These seeds have reaped broken hearts and driven souls away from the church and are presently being used by the enemy in the church to try and turn precious children of God away from Jesus.
We ALL need God's Amazing Grace every day of our lives.
NONE of us have arrived.
Take a look at the Apostle Paul.
The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:31 , "I die daily."
If you read the preceding chapter Paul is talking about dieing to the fleshly nature of who he is. [who we are]
How can we die daily if we are already dead?
Have we then arrived?
If in fact we have arrived...then do we still need God's amazing grace in our lives?
I would say not! I would say we would be Amazing ourselves!
But we all know (at least I hope we do) this statement is ludicrous!
Again - I say-
We ALL need God's Amazing Grace every day of our lives.
2 Corinthians 1:21
"Now it is God who makes us, both us and you stand firm in Christ."
(this is just one of many scriptures saying the same thing)
If any of us think we are any better than ANYone else we need to hit the floor on our faces and ask God to forgive us for our pride and for discounting His Sons Blood shed and suffering on the Cross...then ask Holy Spirit to show us what else we need to work on in our lives!
Lord I thank you for your love and your faithfulness and your Amazing Grace of which I could not live without! I give you my life a fresh and a new this day. Be the light of my life as you have been and more so!
Reign in me and live through me!
Please come Holy Spirit and have your way in my life!
Show me everything that is not pleasing to you....everything in my life that grieves you.
Take me and make into the spitting image of Jesus, the living Son of God.
I love you Papa God. I love you Holy Spirit. I love Jesus!!!!
