Liberating Grace 2

Hello Everyone,

How do you learn to relax in the GRACE of God?

REALIZE NOBODY'S PERFECT.

That's a no-brainer obviously but you've got to start somewhere. Realize nobody's perfect.

Psalm 119:96 To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless.

"Nothing is perfect except God's Word."

That's why you need to build your life on God's Word because nothing else is perfect.

What society tells you isn't perfect.

What popular opinion tells you isn't perfect.

What you learned growing up isn't perfect.

But God's WORD is perfect. You get in the book; build your life on this foundation because God’ Word is perfect. Then you have a perfect foundation.

This would be a good verse for you to put on your refrigerator. "Nothing is perfect except God's Word."

If you spend all your time trying to attain perfection, trying to make any project perfect, you're wasting your time.

Ninety-two percent is still an A! You don't have the time and you don't have the money to be perfect in everything.

And you can't anyway.

"There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake."

Remember a number of years ago there was a book that came out called I'm OK, You're OK?

It isn't true. I am not ok and you're really not ok! I can say that all the time but inside I'm thinking, "Who am I kidding? There are areas in my life that are definitely not ok.

There's some areas in your life that are definitely not ok so all the little affirmations in the world are not going to make you ok. You're imperfect. I'm not perfect.

The point is -- the truth is -- I'm not OK, and you're not OK. But because of God's GRACE that's OK!

I'm imperfect and there are a lot of things in my life that are not ok. But when you accept God's GRACE, He says, "That's ok. You don't have to be perfect."

What does that mean?

Does that mean God isn't interested in my growth? Of course He wants me to grow.

Does that mean I don't have to repent? No, of course you have to repent.

Does that mean God doesn't want me to change and work on areas? No, he wants you to change.

When God says, "You're ok because of My GRACE," that does not mean you can just keep on being a jerk the rest of your life.

It just means that God isn't waiting for you to change for Him to love you.

God is not waiting for you to change for Him to say, "You're ok."

If you accept His GRACE you realize nobody's perfect.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
