Buckets of Grace!!!!

Since my last post I have been listening to every one of Joyce Meyers pod-casts. You "have got" to subscribe and start applying the principles that took her 30 years to develop into herself, and now is able to share with us.  The great thing is it won't take us 30 years to get there...well, IF we apply them to our own lives that is.



I have been applying them, and sure enough God does walk along-side me every day--slowly I see the changes arriving.  God really does love me, and I am falling madly in love with him too.  Oh how I want that for YOU!!!  I have just prayed to God and asked him that for everyone reading this entry: he would shower YOU with buckets of grace!!!!  Grace to have the want to!!!  Grace to believe and see the changes!!! Grace to grasp how much he loves YOU!!!  Grace to have unfailing hope to hang on to, even if it is for dear life!!!!  Grace to see hope beyond your pain!!!!  Grace to see that nothing is impossible with Him!!!!  Grace to decide to believe!!!

One of the newest things that I have added to my life is a life quote that I have chosen.  "I would rather sacrifice Praise to God than to sacrifice my JOY to Satan."  Sacrificing our joy comes so natural....it comes way too easy, but takes so much more away from our lives.  It steals a portion of energy, faith, hope, life goals and dreams.  Lack of joy produces depression, more negative thoughts, destroys our lives if it continues. Praise on the other hand should come easy, but in the natural realm it takes sacrifice-we have to do it even when we don't feel like it.  As Christians we must strive to walk in the Spirit-with His strength it becomes easier, but a choice still has to be made to do it no matter how we feel.  As Joyce has said in many of her videos, we can't make decisions based on how we feel.  Don't make it complicated just start by saying "Praise you Lord" over and over again until your joy begins to flourish.  From there you can gravitate to deeper praise, however you feel drawn.  The point is to keep it simple--then you are more likely to actually do it.  Go give God praise my beloved friends in Christ!!!
