Grace be with you. 1 Timothy 6:21 (NKJV)
Have you been getting frustrated or feeling burned out by trying to do what you believe God wants you to do?
Don’t forget that as a believer, you have the grace of God to do what He’s asking you to do.
But what is grace? Grace is the favour, power, ability, capacity, strength, joy and peace of God we have as we live the amazing life of purpose He has for us. That’s His grace.
Grace has been with you from the moment you gave your life to Christ. But you stop living in that grace when you stop trusting that you have it. This “fall from grace” doesn’t refer to falling out of relationship with God. It’s that you start living your life all in your own strength.
The problem is that this will eventually cause you to give up on doing what God has called you to do, because the reality is that you can’t do it without His grace! You need His power, strength and ability to fulfil your purpose and to live the incredible life He has for you.
The good news is that God’s grace is always with you. Even if you haven’t been relying on it, His grace is yours. He has never left you, and you can begin to be more aware of His grace now so you can experience it daily.
Don’t ever think that you have to do it alone. God and His grace are with you to go the distance. Whatever you’re doing for Him, you can do it with passion and zeal, empowered by Him. Thank God today for His grace, and remember to turn to Him for the strength you need.
