Abounding Grace

Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt totally overwhelmed with the situation you are in? As soon as your eyes open does your circumstance seem to jump right on your brain, making you want to bury your heart and soul back under the blankets? I have, and I think most of us have felt that way at some time in our lives and probably will still feel that way some time in the future. I think feeling overwhelmed is okay. It is just a feeling, and for us, as Christians it is usually a temporary state once we line up our difficulty with God's Word and God's plans for us. I love 2 Corinthians 9:8. It reads:

And God is able to make ALL grace abound toward you, that you, always having ALL sufficiency in ALLthings may have an abundance for every good work.(Emphasis mine)

I love this because I need all grace, all sufficiency and to have all abundance in every good work. I have to go to the hospital many times for various tests and to see various doctors and I really don't want to go. I'd rather bury my head in those bed blankets. But I am encouraged, even charged up to watch God's grace, ALL of God's grace abound in my life. Not just part of His grace, or a smidgen of His grace or a taste of His grace, but all of it in abundance.

Today if your heart is overwhelmed, let Him know your heart and ask that ALL of His grace abound in you.

In Jesus name,
Mary
