Falling in love with Jesus .... through His grace

Years ago when I was still a 'baby' Christian, one of my work colleagues tried to convince me that Jesus was just a Prophet and I should definitely not pray to Him or accept Him as my Saviour.  This happened daily and I remember trying to stay strong in my faith.  I must say the devil tried to derail me each time I prayed; tried to damage my relationship with my Saviour.  Looking back I am thankful that He (Jesus) who lived in my heart was stronger than the evil one living in the world. 

Ephesians 2:1-6 (MSG) "It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin.  You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live.  You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience.  We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat.  It's a wonder God didn't lose His temper and do away with the whole lot of us.  Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love He embraced us.  He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ.  He did all this on His own with no help from us!  Then He picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah".

I am sure God understands us and He knows that sometimes we might feel no matter what we do, we are just not doing enough so that He can be pleased with us, BUT, then God shows us and reminds us that He loves us with our mess and all and we have been saved by Grace, total unconditional love!  We through the cross have been made righteous....... yes through Jesus. 

Jesus I am humbled by your love for me!

No matter how the devil tried to steal, kill and destroy I still fell in love with Jesus daily.  Jesus, through your love and grace for me, I chose to sail my boat into the right direction - Your direction.

Pray with me ... 

Jesus I thank You that you allow us to seek you and fall in love with you.  You chose us the day You said IT IS FINISHED.  Show us more of your truth daily and dont allow us to listen to the enemy ever again but ONLY to you our Saviour.  WE love You Jesus, All the glory and honour belongs to you Jesus. Amen.

My Saviour ....

I soak my thoughts in Your truth

I soak my heart in your love...

Jesus Christ You are the only true vine

see it through my eyes as they shine

shine because I fall in love with you daily

thank you that You chose me

that is all I ever want to be.....

Your daughter forever

Through your grace.
