"Once I was lost; but now I am found." Without the mercies and grace of God I would be like a small duck in a terrible rain storm, getting beat to death by the huge rain drops; that fell upon my tender head. Thank you God for giving your only begotten son; so I can live and tell others of your mercy and grace; that you give so freely!

Amen :)
May we never forget. May we love Him now as we first loved Him. May we never loose our first and best love for our Dear Lord Jesus, Who paid the highest price to redeem us from sin, satan, death and eternal separation from God in hell.
Today dear one we can say that His mercy reached us where we were. Bounded by sin's galling fetters.. But one day we received " GLORIOUS FREEDOM... WONDERFUL FREEDOM!"
Freedom from the self to be liberated to live in the spirit. Freedom from the old man to live as part of the ONE NEW MAN in Christ.. Freedom to love the Lord out of a pure heart and not be befuddled by the evil of this age... Freedom to share of the wonders of His Grace to those who have an ear to hear...
May many have their hearing healed to hear the words of life of the Salvation of our God during their lifetime.. and may they respond to such love.
Lets keep all our gospel friends in our prayer dear one.. May our Lord be strong to reach and rescue many for His name sake
Your sis

God’s love for all of mankind results in the fact that God shows His mercy by not immediately punishing people for their sins (Romans 3:23; 6:23). If God did not love everyone, we would all be in hell right now. God’s love for the world is manifested in the fact that He gives people the opportunity to repent (2 Peter 3:9). Grace is God’s giving us something we cannot earn or deserve. According to Romans 11:6, “work” of any kind destroys grace—the idea is that a worker earns payment, while the recipient of grace simply receives it, unearned. Since salvation is all of grace, it cannot be earned. Faith, therefore, is a non-work.

It Is because of Him that I live & breathe. I thank Him for His unlimited grace & mercy,as I was living In sin,doing my own thing. I look back and It scares me to think that I could've died & went to the eternal lake of fire. It's not God's will that any should perish. Without the sacrifice of God's only Son we'd All be headed for hell. Thank You Jesus for saving me..Live each day as If It could be your last one. Because one day It will be !

I thank the Lord for his mercy and grace and the mercy's of David; because I fall a lot in my walk with the Lord and it is a awesome thing to have a loving God and the son Jesus Christ whom died for my sins to have that type of compassion to do this for me. What I want is, to be able to lay my life down for him now so that he can use me for his glory.

It's a good comparison with the duck in the rain storm!
Even WHEN I feel like such a lost little duck, Jesus comes and comforts me and sends me his peace! That is such a wonderful experience, I can't thank him enough for it! I only pray that many more people come to that experience, in my family and friends and also in the world. Lord, open their eyes and make them see!

Me, me, me!
Amen, hallelujah, praise His holy name.
Without God's mercy and His grace through the power of the Holy Spirit our intercessor, where would I be? Where would we be?
I am grateful that he looked down saw me waist high in my sin; but he cleaned me up and turned me around -- put a new song in my heart. I am grateful.
Hallelujah! Praise His name.

I just came to the computer and before I sat down , I was thinking of the way I used to be without God. And it was really bad the things that I did and said. I am thankful that God saw something in me that I couldn't see myself.

I know I am, very much so. Without God we are nothing. Without Jesus Christ, we would have no way to be saved. When I think of all that God has brought me thru, I am most humbled by Him that He didnt give up on me so long ago I know of His incredible love that is always jsut there, and I love HIm enough to give that type of love back to Him. HE wants our love and our obedience and I count it all as joy to give it to Him. We are commanded to do this, its not just a mere little suggestion. God wants to save us. We are all called, but only a few answer the call to believe, let alone to obey. Life had really beat me up very bad, I lived in oppression and despression and wanted to only die daily. I didnt want to die, but I didnt want to live in anymore pain, from the abuse at the hands of others . I never lost faith in God, but I did lose myself,
But truly finding JEsus and who I was in Jesus Christ, I found the real me , and I am on fire for God and passionate about life and all He has put it in for us to enjoy. With God all things are possible. The only way to salvation is thru Jesus and the only way to live a victorious life is by the power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. The answer is obedience and knowing the keys to the kingdom of God, to love and obey Him, and know His wisdom, knowledge and power He gives to His ppl that do love and obey. I live for Jesus and I live to tell the world about Him. So few answer the call to love, let alone obey, but there is no other way. But God doesnt give up on us easily. By His tender mercies and grace, He will persevere with those that really love HIm. I count it all as joy. God bless you for the wonderful questions. I pray you receive many quality answers that will bless and honor God. The ones that come that seek only to destroy, just remember, to pray and forgive them and leave them for God to deal with .
God bless you to overflow.
