The Grace to Be

What does the word grace mean? I attended a convention last month at Victory Christian. John Bevere spoke one night and I found what he had to say to be very enlightening. He spoke on the word "Grace". Now when we hear that word the first thing we think of is God's Redemtion At Christ Expense. When really this is only a very small part of what Grace really is. Grace can really be summed up in two words.... "God's Ability" when we face difficult circumstances or when we dont think we can overcome a tough situation God gives us grace to stand fast in what we know. The amazing thing is that the grace that God gives us is the same Grace that he gave Jesus, we should learn to walk in the fulness of God Just as he did.

Worthy

A thought just came to me while i was listening to Kim Walker today. The song started off with the word "worthy" she repeated you're so worthy over and over again. Then it came to me, when we say that the lord is worthy we never actually acknowledge how much we are not.
We here every day about people and how "they" made it out and how "they" put themselves on top. However we fail to actually grasp the fact that we are not in any way worthy to magnify our selves or our own mediocrity and what we believe to be an accomplishment. I sit and I think of all of the many times that I have screwed up or made mistakes. I never once boasted or brought attention to myself then, I never pointed at my flaws and said "hey look at what i can do!!" So with that being the case, I now realize what being worthy of honor glory and power actually means.It means that in order for us to receive full credit for the all of the great things that we accomplish our good must out weigh our bad. I don't know about you but that isn't the case with me.So now you ask what is the point? Why try to accomplish great things in this life? why over come difficult situations in life? and what is the point if we cant take full credit? Christ, Christ makes it worth it all He is the only one that was blameless, the only one that truly had more good in him than bad. But with all this being true he still said, "I do what I see the father do" this means that even though he could take credit for being the one and only perfect man he still pointed to the father......how much more should we do the same...he alone is worthy....

Read these lyrics....what do you think they mean???

When the world welcomes us in,
We're closer to Heaven than we'll ever know
They say this place has changed,
But strip away all of the technology
And you will see
That we all are hunters,
Hunting for something
That will make us okay.

Here we lay alone
In hospital beds tracing life in our heads
But all that is left
Is that this was our entrance and now it's our exit,
As we find our way home.

And all the blood and all the sweat
That we invested to be loved
Follows us, into our end,
Where we begin to understand.

We are made of love,
And all the beauty stemming from it.
We are made of love,
And every fracture caused by the lack of it.

"You were a million years of work,"
Said God and His angels, with needle and thread.
They kissed your head and said,
"You're a good kid, and you make us proud.
So just give your best and the rest will come,
And we'll see you soon."

And all the blood and all the sweat
That we invested to be loved,
Follows us into our end
We begin to understand

Maybe Hollywood was right:
When the credits have rolled and the tears have dried,
And the answers that we have been dying to find
Are all pieced together and, somehow,
Made perfectly mine, mine, mine
Made perfectly mine

We are made of love,
And all the beauty stemming from it.
We are made of love,
And every fracture caused by the lack of love.
Caused by the lack of love
