Father,

Help us to be the fools that extend grace even when none is deserved!




Luke 12:48 KJV [italics mine]

...For unto whomsoever much [grace] is given, of him shall be much [grace] required...

[[ISI]HudsonHawk]

And Father, with extending grace, let's also extend forgiveness !!

Mark 11:25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Dear God

Thank you for showing me what it means to be, and feels blessed. I do know that I have ignored you for all these years, even when I was attending church with my wife. I am sorry for this and pray for forgiveness. I know you have brought me here to ISI to show me the path and I am grateful for that. I also pray for forgiveness for those I have offended through my ignorance. I await the next step knowing that you will guide me now.

Thank you dear God,

James

Glorious Father,

I pray that You will give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know You better. I pray also that the eyes of our hearts be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

(Ephesians 1:17-19a)

Thank you for speaking to me through scripture this morning Lord!!!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

This morning I had to get on my knees after reading this scripture. We can talk a great walk, we can claim we have gifts from God, but I don't know of many that walk a great walk.

We hold past bitterness and resentment inside until it spills over in other facets of our lives and poisons our spirit, friends, family and relationships. We hold onto pride because we feel we do so much more than others. We are unforgiving and use the excuses like, "I'll forgive them, BUT!!!" The issues and reasons we hold onto ruin and blot out the gifts God blesses us with. Especially when seen from a non-believers eyes or through the eyes of a person who's faith in God is balancing on a fence.

We sinners forgive with limits.

God has no limits on His forgiveness !!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Come to us, Lord
You reward those who earnestly, diligently seek You
I wanna see Your face, I wanna know Your way
Come to us, Lord

We want You more than this life
More than our way Your way is higher
Your thoughts are higher
We surrender here tonight

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Always been one of my favorite songs to sing Sunday morning!!

Thank you Jesus, our Father GOD. For always being here for me. For carrying me when I could not walk, for leading me when I could not see. Thank you Father for your grace. Grace I do not deserve. Thank you for loving me first, I pray I will serve you always as your son has served me. I hope others can see the Holy Spirit within me and desire the same love, peace and salvation as you have given me. May we all be saved and rejoice in heaven unto you, our Father.

I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeeeah

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

[Chorus]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

[Chorus x2]

Hosanna in the highest

Oh Lord, You're beautiful, Your face is all I see;
For when Your eyes are on this child Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful, Your face is all I see;
For when Your eyes are on this child Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around first help me just to live it, Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown, for my reward is giving glory to You.
