GOD'S GRACE IS FREE!

Luke 18:13, 14.  Romans 12:2

     If you will receive it, it will change your life.  We have been exalted!  When the tax collector came before God, he came as a sinner, as we all do.  But in that moment of recognition, there came an eternal change that only God can make.  In that moment He received mercy!  Eternal change, perfect in his own righteousness?  No!  Perfect in God's righteousness!  In a split second, he was reckoned righteous before God!  In a split second he was changed.  He had humbled himself before God Almighty, and God exalted Him, in Christ, with Christ at God's right hand.  It's called AMAZING GRACE!
     Feed yourself on GRACE!  Come to the banquet table.  The old is gone; behold the new!  Feed yourself on the precious gift you are now.  Not what you used to be.  You are not who you used to be.  You are not tied to the memories.
     Take helium-filled balloons.  Name them :  murder, adultery, unforgiveness, pride, lies, anger, hate, pornography, drugs.  We have our own private sins.  Name each balloon, and let it go.  Watch it as you release it.  As sure as those balloons are gone, never to return, so are your sins.  Let them go.  You are a new creation!  Mark 9:23.  Jesus set us free!  He stands with us , rejoicing in our freedom.
     John 17     Romans 12;2
     Change your thoughts, you change your world.

    In love, a work in progress!
