Praise & Shine 55: On The Bubble

We can feel at times that we’re “on the bubble,” uncertain if we have what it takes to compete in or finish the race of life. When we’re feeling that way, it’s important to remember that in Jesus we’re never “on the bubble.” As children of God, our place in His kingdom is secure (John 14:3). Our confidence flows from God who chose Jesus to be the “cornerstone” on which our lives are built, and He chose us to be “living stones” filled with the Spirit of God, capable of being the people God created us to be (1 Peter 2:5-6).

Mindful Minute: Amazing Grace

God loves us and desires a deep relationship with us. His love is infinite and never ending. It is constantly pursuing us even when we resist.

If we accept God’s grace and the relationship it offers, we answer God’s call to place our faith in Jesus Christ alone which enables us to give our hearts over to God.

We must continue to seek God’s grace in our lives. By grace through faith, the Holy Spirit renews our spirit. There will be barriers to our relationship with God. We must trust God to overcome these obstetrical to grace.

Through grace the work of the Holy Spirit is moving us toward perfection in love and truth.
