Grace

This past week has been full of fighting and feeling quite defeated. I feel like every time I take a step forward in my relationship with the Lord, I move backward because of random circumstances around me. But in the midst of these perceived injustices, I hear the Lord saying, "You can not out grace me, Natalie. Keep giving." Oh but it is painful! It is so hard to want to give grace when I feel like I receive none. But that in and of itself is a lie. I have everything I need for life and godliness. And grace only increases.

I can't out grace Him. I can't out love Him. I can't out run Him.  I can't out fight Him.

I have found that sometimes the only way to find peace is to remember that I am very small, and He is very big. Very strong. Very mighty. Very beautiful. Very powerful.


You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus, You are Lord of all


From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16
