Wow! What an Honor


2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.


What a wonderful truth and way to encourage those that love the Lord. It is a reminder to keep in our hearts as we go through busy lives filled with temptation, evil, opportunity, and challenges.

If we remember that we are under the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have no reason to be concerned with were we stand with God. We can know that our sin is forgiven and that our lives are hidden in Him. We are redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ and there is nothing left for us to do, but to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever.

Knowing that we are loved by God releases us from needing stuff and the praise of man. The Almighty loves us. We do not have to prove anything to anybody about our value. There is no need to doubt our purpose. God loves us and cares for us. Even in hardship and pain we can know that God is watching over us.

Because the Holy Spirit fills us, we have a constant comfort and guide. No decision will come to us where we do not have the One who can and will show us the way. As we are tempted, He will tell us how to live. God's truth is now written on our hearts because the Holy Spirit dwells in us.

What joy is ours! We have hope because of the grace of Jesus, the love of the Father, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
