God's Grace
Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8-9 reads:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourself ,it is the gift of God "
I remember very well being 18 and in a abusive relationship. I remember before I got "caught up" and left home I was always searching for love in all the wrong places,young and after all the wrong things.Now don't get me wrong, I was brought up in church, I knew about Jesus, my books of the Bible, sung in the choir, taught Sunday School lessons ,but that's just it, what you saw on the outside of me was one thing ,but my inside, you know the true inside of you, the part that only God is worried about was a "mess". My mother left out of my life when I was 13 she didn't die ,she just moved away. I felt lost and empty without her. My great grandmother raised us, but it wasn't the same as having a mother around, so I was searching for love and thought I found it. This relationship I was in was being controlled by a angry person, a jealous person and to me ,well I thought okay this is life. This is the way things are supposed to be. For three years I forgot all about God, my family, my friends. I no longer knew who I was, we lived the fast life money,clubs ,and drinking. Once again I was happy on the outside but the inside of me was a mess, days and days of abuse consumed my life to anyone that is reading this today and you are in a abusive relationship get out now. Abuse is not what God have in store for you, you are worth so much more. On my 21st birthday I remember just like yesterday, I went for a job interview and I met my, now husband, this man was a dream & I do mean a dream come true. I said over and over to myself there is no way he is this nice, this considerate, this faithful. Can I really express how I feel without having a black eye? Can I really go on a date and wear this or do I need to check with him first? This can't be real. But it was because you see GRACE found me and GRACE saved me and GRACE kept me GRACE made me happy again GRACE made me whole again God's GRACE. Hebrews 13:5 says "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you". After all I've done God ,you still love me? YES, God forgives us of all of our sins ,picks us up and make us new again. Ladies, we have to know what is good for us, and what is not good ,not every man you meet is your soul mate, stop falling for any and everything that come along. Remember rejection is God's protection, consider this he closed that door because my dear sister, you are worth so much more. Don't be afraid to live the single life until God send you the man he has molded for you, because when God have something for you ,its for YOU and you along. Seek God, cry out to him ,study his word and represent him. Let grace find you ,for by his grace you are saved, you are saved from abuse ,drugs ,drinking ,pornography, & fornication. Those things are not of God but by his grace you are saved from it . Let grace carry you ,lead you ,protect you ,hold you ,mold you and make you into the woman God want you to be. You can't be who God called you to be when you're out doing all the wrong things ,if you don't have a true relationship with God NOW is the time ,now simply put your hand over your heart and say ,"Lord forgive me of my sins ,wash me clean, make me new , I invite you in, take control . Thank you for letting me share with you about God's grace. If you can relate please do, I would love to hear your story of how you were set free.
