In our weakness he is strong

[Blain]

You know there was a time when I understood grace and what it means to rest in grace. I didnt see what i see now, all I see in myself is my sin my weakness every part of me that isnt good. i often times want to go home because I get weary home sick and honestly just want my lord but the only two ways I can is either death or the rapture. However when I think of the rapture I think to myself with all I have done and all my weaknesses who am i to even think i have a chance to be counted worthy to go in the rapture?
I remember what it was like to be under grace and know it. I was free and didnt worry about all this i knew myself as a child of God and thats all. I knew grace wasnt a ticket to do as I pleased but I didnt see how I see now. but I do admit seeing how I do now humbles me it makes me realize just how much I need Gods vast grace love forgiveness and power. Right now I admit I have many weaknesses but I continue on because he is strong when I am not.

[Jon4TheCross]

Blain...God does not see your past or future sin if you hate it...and have a robe of righteousness through the blood of Christ. He sees His son when He looks at you (a completely holy spirit by measure with an incorruptible earthen vessel reserved for you).

Philippians 3:13-15King James Version (KJV)

13*Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14*I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15*Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

1 John 3:1-3King James Version (KJV)

3*Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2*Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3*And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Those scriptures are beautiful they need to be a stcky. believe me I hate my sin i am truly disgusted by it I get a disgusted feeling in my gut thinking about them.

One of my fave scriptures, for it is in our weakness that God's power is made perfect, glorified!
It was in this that my eyes were opened not just to how His grace is given, but also to how humility, being least, my weakness given over, brings God's power and presance into all we do, for no longer do we rely ones own streangths, but in letting go of all we think we are and do, giving all to God, does His great power and presance reside in us. WOW!
Another words, we get out of the way of His great works done in us!

In Jesus, God bless
