Grace wins ♡

I'm not use to being loved without condition without feeling the need to work for it. I've always thought that I needed to earn love, work towards it or manipulate my way into getting it. I've always been a "good" girl, try hard, overextend myself type of person to gain the approval and validation from those I love and care about. This is why grace was and still is a hard concept for me to grasps.
And in all of my relationships be it family, friendships or dating I "overdo", overanalyze and overthink. This is toxic. I've messed up, ended and even destroyed a lot of potentially good relationships prematurely. One in particular really breaks my heart and I'm praying that God will restore or atleast help me learn from it so that I wont continue to make the same mistake.
The thing about God revealing your heart and the brokenness thereof is that His grace finds a way into the cracks and heals us from our past and current strongholds. He is able to heal you, redeem you and restore.
My desire is to experience a love that isnt based on condition, that isnt based on what I can and cannot do but solely based on unconditional love. But not only that, I desire to be able with Gods help to extend this same love to others. And the awesome part is that my deliverance and restoration from this try hard life that I've been living has already happened on the cross. Jesus died for me, knowing that I would still struggle and fall short.
I just have to walk in this truth. Forgive myself and acknowledge that I will fail and make mistakes along the way. Not to abuse grace but to realize that it's obviously there for a reason. I pray for the Holy Spirits leading as I learn to love better.
If you're battling with trying to earn validation, love and acceptance I pray that you will rest in knowing that you already HAVE IT!
Rest in Gods grace and love. The creator of ALL things loves YOU. You are precious to Him. Walk in that. These are such simple truths that we all at one point or another struggle with but hold tightly to Gods word and who HE IS!
Grace wins ♡

"Why are you so afraid?"

The question: "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" Mark 4:40  The answer" "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Psalms 56:3 Put your trust in God. Trust Him with your life, He created it.  Surely He knows what He is doing.  Surely He can handle it.  Surely He can take care of you.

Read your Bible like your life depends on it because IT DOES!

With love and exhortation Christians, believers in Jesus Christ YOU are responsible for reading and studying the Bible. Not your pastor, your parent or your bestfriend. Never put all your trust in men to teach you, even if it is a man/woman of God in the pulpit. The Bible is clear that we all need to work out our own salvation. (Philippians 2:12) There are too many people calling themselves Christians but they don't even read the Bible. The first thing they do when they're confused about something is look to culture (the world system), people or their feelings for justification. Be very careful about this because the devil is always looking for even the smallest ways to deceive people. And please don't just read the Bible or rely on devotions, study it to show yourself approved. Study it to be able to give a reason for why you believe what you believe. Study it to be able to exalt Christ and what He has done for you. The devil wants illiterate Bible readers who want a ni...

My prayer for you ♡

Okay this is very uncomfortable for me to share, very very uncomfortable. However, because of that very reason and because I believe that God can do the impossible I'm sharing this prayer I wrote about 4 years ago.  I really believe that God will provide in His time with an amazing man that will be worth the wait. ( He's a giver of good gifts, AMEN ). In the meantime, I'm sharing this because I also prayed for me in this prayer and I'm able to look back and see that in the last 4 years God has been working on me in a lot of the areas that I included in this prayer. How faithful is He. I'm literally seeing how things are working together on my end before the ring which gives me hope that maybe just maybe on his end it is also working . Thats why I'm putting this prayer out there, to encourage you to pray diligently for your one day spouse but also that God also does a work in you before the ring. We are all works in progress and we will continue to b...
