Well hello there, you know what is absolutely hilarious is that I am sitting here writing my second blog post pressing buttons trying to figure out how to use the same font as I did the last one and low and behold I am what I think they say is a noob....hahahaha.
It is a wonderful time here as the temperature has cooled making the days easier to work around. The storms that came past the last few days were wonderful and yes ever so noisy. I love a storm, the beauty with such intense power at times.
Noise, yes there is quite alot of noise at times and it can be ever so loud. The world can be like that at times hey, noisy with so many words left right and centre. Sometimes majority of what we hear seems to be all about self or about telling us what our weaknesses are or you have to be worthy or your not trying enough. These can overtime reduce ones self esteem......You ever been there? Me to, it can be overwhelming.
I was recently reading Ephesians in chapter 1
Verse 3 we are told we have been blessed with every single spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
Verse 7,8 we are told we are forgiven with blood and grace.
God is telling us we are through the blood of Jesus and his grace forgiven. We are LAVISHED with blood and grace.
There is no need to be concerned worried about not being good enough or worthy because we can absolutley enjoy this journey filled with peace, clarity, joy and HIS love with the gift he is giving us.
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM, HE CHOSE YOU as it says in verse 4 flaws and all. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST.
Lets look at the word LAVISHED in verse 8 and what it means:
1: Bestow something in a generous way
2: Give extravagant qualities of.
Jesus has lavished you with forgiveness and grace because you are wonderfully made and you are HIS....right now just the way you are, you are enough, you are worthy.
Isn't Gods word such wonderful support to strengthen us through the noise. Well I had best go get on with the daily work. I hope you feel uplifted and happy. Have a great time whatever and where ever you are.
Until next time.
