Happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. I know Mother’s day can often bring heartache and sadness. I pray that wasn’t the case for you. If it was… I’m so very sorry.
I have a verse for you today that I hope will bring some comfort to someone who feels like God could never accept them. Maybe someone feels like they have just done to much wrong or that the work they do for God just isn’t good enough…
Romans 11:6 says “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on basis of works otherwise grace would no longer be grace.” (ESV)
Grace – Courteous good will. The free and unmerited favor of God.
That’s the definition of Grace. It is unmerited… unearned. It is God’s good will to extend grace to each and every one of us who will accept it. If we can’t earn it, then we can’t do anything to get it. No work we do will earn us God’s grace. By the same token, nothing we have done will keep us from it either! As long as we accept the gift of His grace, then we get it.
You wouldn’t think of refusing a birthday gift from your best friend would you? Jesus… AKA, our best friend… is offering you a gift. All you need to do is accept it. It has your name on the tag and everything.
Have a blessed start to your week my dear table family 🙂
This is Me
Hi, I’m Cyndi! I am a wife to a wonderful God-fearing man for almost twenty years. I am a mom to an ambitious comedic eighteen-year-old son and a spirited fun-loving sixteen-year-old daughter. I love to cook, create anything I can think of to make, talk and visit with friends and even strangers, and of course I love to write. Along with the writing, I love to read what other people write as well. I would love to live in the south somewhere but for now I live more in the suburbs of a town in Michigan. Oh yeah… and I’m almost blind. This means that I have to do things a little differently. It takes a little more time and a little more patience to get things done, but they get done. I was told of my eye disease when I was nine years old. At forty-four, they still cannot diagnose what I have for certain. However, I won’t sit still while they try and figure it out. Each day brings different challenges and some of the same as well. Navigating new territory is the most difficult thing for me to do, but I refuse to be held back and take the chance on missing out on an exciting new adventure. My bucket list holds adventures like parasailing, visiting Ireland, having at least one book published, and I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed yet. Painting word pictures is my therapy and sanctuary. I use life as my brushes and paint. Lite me a candle, put on the spa music and a-writing I will go. Come on this journey with me, I hope you can find some new colors you like.
