PA S T O R ’ S D E S K MORE THAN ENOUGH GRACE

s your DAYS are, so will your STRENGTH be.” (Deut. 33:25)

You will never face a day in your life where the incredible GRACE of your loving God isn’t MORE than enough to meet your every need. Our Father has supplied His GRACE to us with such exacting CARE for anything and everything that we will ever experience! Jesus beautifully declares to us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9), The Passion Translation reads, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” No matter what you may face now or will face in the future, God’s GRACE will be MORE than enough for you! GRACE literally means, “unmerited favor.” Jesus is the embodiment of perfect grace to us. Grace is Jesus plus NOTHING. Everything we have from God is solely by the grace of what Jesus has done for us. Everything we receive from Jesus is FREELY GIVEN to us by His beautiful GRACE. It’s by GRACE we are SAVED (Eph. 2:8); it is by GRACE that we are strengthened to overcome sin. GRACE

cannot be achieved, only received by faith. In every moment and season of your life, God’s GRACE has already been freely and lovingly presented for you. Knowing the great care God has for us in GRACE enables us to live our lives FEARLESSLY! No matter what life throws at us. God knows what we would need in advance and planted His grace into the soil of that season for us. His GRACE will never fail us. His GRACE is stronger than sickness and sin. His GRACE is greater than our storms. His GRACE is always available to every one of His children. GRACE to you my friend. You are loved,
