I love grace, God’s grace. God’s favor upon my life. God’s sufficiency overwhelming my insufficiency.
I can rest in His grace. He did it all for me. I don’t have to be righteous on my own through works. I don’t have to pray enough, fast enough, pay enough or do enough to be counted as righteous. It is who I am because I am in Him. Now I do works because I want to.
There were times in my life I focused on works just because I wanted Him so bad that I was not sure how else to get more of Him. However, now, I just want to rest in Him and be close to Him. He is calling us all to a stillness before Him that is refreshing. It is not a laziness or a break from volunteerism but a break in our motive of why we do our service. Let our motive be that we do it all for the Glory of God. When that is our heart cry everything else will fall into place.
