Why Grace Full Mom? Because Romans 5:20 sums up my parenting. "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more." I love my children but selfishness, desire for a smooth life and other ugly sins can interrupt our mostly pleasant days. God, in His kindness, pours His grace on our family both in spite of me and through me! Others may see my parenting as graceful... I know all success I have is Grace full.
I think the most helpful part to me was remembering that it is God who leads me into the storm AND that it is really for my good. The storm is used to help me grow up, to strengthen my weaknesses, and to show a dying world that my faith is real. If I can get passed the 'wall' so to speak in my trial, then I become stronger in my level of obedience and faith. So it would be good to encourage each other that it is still not okay to sin in our season of trial, but all the more to be obedient and faithful in the midst of it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful message! I loved the point that FAITH IS AN EXERCISE...NOT AUTOMATIC! We choose it! :)

Eph 2:8-10
ReplyDelete8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
-Denise B
So encouraging and it was just what I needed to hear!
