Giving Grace to Others

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps
what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature
will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit
will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the
proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to
the family of believers.”
(Galatians 6:7-10)

The old saying “You are what you eat” has a lot of truth
to it.  But, in this case, it should say
“You are what you feed on!”  If you feed
on the Word and things of the Spirit, you can’t help but reap things of the
Spirit.

God wants us to do this in all ways, not just in our
spiritual life, but also in our physical life within this world.  We must be the light that shines for the world
to see.  This light must be allowed to
shine on everyone at all times.

It is easy to do good to those who do good to us.  Everyone is capable of doing this.  We, as believers, must do good to everyone,
whether they do good to us or not.  

 We
must show God’s grace and mercy to all that we encounter so that they may see
God through us.

Jesus allowed that grace to be shown to us.  We did not deserve it, yet, it was given to us
freely.  How can we, who did not deserve
that grace and mercy, show nothing but grace and mercy to others who are as
worthy as we are?

Can God change
your life?

God has made it
possible for you to know Him, and experience an amazing
change in your own life.

can find peace with God.

    Sometimes Healing Takes Time

    I like instant. I like brewed coffee in a minute or less. I like microwaved leftovers in 45 seconds or less. I like instant text, instant on-line shopping, and instant movies at the click of a button. I’m not a fan of process but would rather have immediate results. One of my favorite words in the New Testament is “immediately.” “Immediately they received their sight” (Matthew 20:34). Read more...
