Good morning happy Sunday… #CV03SpirtualMessage Father, it’s in your presence that I find JOY! You are so kind to me, and your COMPASSION and MERCY follow me relentlessly. There is nowhere I can go to escape YOU, and there’s nothing I can do that would scare you away. You are constantly inviting me to SEEK YOU and ACCEPT YOU. Thank you for never giving up on me. Today, I want to PURSUE YOU! ⁃Love Like That: Grace-Full If you want to be a better grace-giver, you’ve got to continually and consciously receive the grace God gives you. “Whoever has been forgiven only a little,” Jesus said, “loves only a little.” The more grace we receive, the more love we give. When we aren’t cognizant of God’s unconditional acceptance in our own lives, we can’t give it to others. Judgmentalism sees to that. Here’s the truth: God’s grace is received, not achieved. Grace does not depend on what we have done for God but rather what God has done for us. And continually receiving God’s grace—in the deepest and most central parts of our beings—is the only true and lasting remedy to ugly judgments and holier-than-thou attitudes. “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable,” said C. S. Lewis, “because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” Love is not the cause of grace. It’s the proof of it. When we are conscious of God’s grace in our own lives, we are automatically more loving and accepting of others. I’m not naive about our judgments. I don’t think it’s possible to live a life where we never judge anyone, ever. But once you embrace God’s grace, once you raise your consciousness around this gift you are continually given, you get immeasurably closer to loving like Jesus.  Stop pause and pray!
