Grace...so amazing!

Grace. What love He has for us.

Grace is simply God's free, unmerited favor to undeserving sinners. We are all sinners, born in sin from birth, but through the unselfish act of dying on the cross for you and me, through Jesus' bloodshed on the cross, we to, can receive His unconditional grace, love and the bestowal of His blessings.  What a mighty act of love and a beautiful gift God gives freely to the ones who don't deserve it, but who trust in Him, follow Him fully and love Him with all their heart.

Grace is not a one time act or gift from our Savior.  The Lord gives it continuously throughout our entire lifetime.  God desires and wants us to have His unceasing, immeasurable grace; not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it, but because He loves us that much. Wow! I'm so amazed at what a wonderful gift Jesus gives us...for free! Aren't you?  Why would anyone not want His grace?  Many people these days are without hope; hope in Jesus Christ.  Without us, they won't know about His free gift of grace, love, and mercy and they surely won't know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.  If you are reading this and know the Lord personally, AMEN! If you are reading this and don't, I want you too! I'm praying for YOU! I want you to receive His gift of grace and I want you to know Him through salvation through Jesus Christ, only He can save you from bondage and sin when you turn to Him.  

The words grace and gift go together, because salvation is the gift of God through His grace. (Eph. 2:8-10) Do you want the free gift of salvation and grace? Do you already have it or on the edge of receiving it? My prayer is that you have that relationship with Him; that you will know His grace, love, and mercy today.  Let's talk about what it means to have His free gift of salvation and grace.

Ladies, I encourage each of you to take a step of faith, reach out to someone who doesn't know the Lord and tell them about His good news.  Tell them about this free gift that only God can give.  Tell them about what God has done in your life and allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through you to others around you. 

It's a beautiful day to know the Lord and have a relationship with Him.  Get alone with God today. Pray, seek, and ask God to be your heavenly, almighty, Father today if He is not already.  He loves you so much and He wants you to be His child.

Happy weekend and may the Lord bless you all!

Live Again!

As I am sitting here pondering this past week and the wonderful revival we had at church, I can’t help but feel overwhelmingly grateful for Jesus and His love for us. I’m rejuvenated, excited, and so incredibly thankful that I have a Savior who loves unconditionally. I want to shout from the mountain tops to the ends of the earth that Jesus is ALIVE and that He LOVES you and me! But what does REVIVAL truly mean? What do you think of when you hear the word “revival?” Do you think of a temporary state of being, a certain way to feel emotionally after a jump start to yourself or others, or do you feel an elated state of happiness? While all these maybe true, the dictionary defines “revive” as returning to consciousness or life: becoming active or flourishing again. Just like a flower after a hard winter buds and blooms again, it shows that it becomes alive again with the newness of the welcoming, warm weather and the fresh Spring season. The flower becomes a beautiful creation of

Sunshine and a Little Yellow Flower

Simple things in life...have you thought about them lately? This season of life that I am in right now has me all up in tears one moment and then smiling the next.  I think God has turned my emotional button up a notch...or three.  When I am in a season like this, it's hard at times to focus on the simple things in life around you.  We are faced with all kinds of life obstacles to hurdle and at times we have the giants of self-doubt and fear blocking the way.  Today, I just needed to get out and think about something else.  I needed fresh air and sunshine.  So, I decided to go to town and walk around the square.  This square is just beautiful.  It abounds in beauty of flowers, greenery, a large fountain, pretty park benches and the most prettiest courthouse.  It was a good day to stroll through, enjoy the light breeze, and soak up some Vitamin D. As I am walking along, I started to think about the old hymn, "Sunshine in My Soul." The sun was beaming down on my face

Shining the Light

Hello SALT sisters!  Hope you are having a great day.  By the way, I want to remind us all what SALT stands for: Sisters Abiding in Light and Truth.  When we have Jesus in our hearts, we have the light of the world living in us.   Do we always show and reflect the light of Jesus?   I certainly don't, although my desire is to do so.  There are times that I choose to listen to worries and fears over simply trusting God.  Other times, I dim the light in my heart by refusing to forgive someone or acting out in anger.  Regardless the sin, God longs for us to confess and repent and allow His light to shine in and through us again. This old world gets darker each day.  It is so important that we let the light of Jesus shine in everything we do or say.  Let's draw close to Christ today; ask Him to search our hearts and see if there is anything that might hinder His light from shining brightly to a dark hopeless world. Love in Christ, Melaina 13  “You are the salt of the earth. B
