'Steady Heart'

Time flies so fast. 2014 has just ended with flying colors. Well I thank God for this time, was able to start this year to update my blog. Been so busy for the past few months with so many things. But I knew that God keeps on reminding me of this post. 

2014 was really a year of God's favor for me, so many opportunities, blessings and provisions. Yes there are some ups and down, hardships and perseverance but God never fails in fulfilling His promises. I couldn't ask for more, God knows the desires of my heart even before I spoke it! 

That's why trusting HIM really gives me security. Well other than the favors, the latter part of last year was a season of waiting as well. Ending the year 2014 with a message from the LORD a 'STEADY HEART'.

At first I don't know what He really meant with that..but would have to admit that I really struggle with it. At times you have this feeling of uncertainties, what lies ahead, how to start, what to do next..etc. Need a divine wisdom! But Jesus holds our future! All things are bind through Him and for Him. He knows what's best for me. Though I've been through a lot of struggles last year, but Jesus is more than enough! and I always go back to Him realizing that He is all I need, seeking Him and pray. It gives me a clearer vision of His plans for me. I have my own plans but I trust His plan more than mine. 

And so when He meant of a STEADY HEART, He is asking me to trust Him more, wait on HIS timing, be STILL and quiet my soul then wisdom follows. Amazing! God is so alive. I would always be secured in Him, finishing 2014 strong and facing 2015 with full of excitement. Yey! thank you Jesus! 

Below are the words from God I have received while I'm on this season.

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me." - John 14:1

"God has something better for you. You just have to wait."

"Steady heart that keeps on going

 Steady love that keeps on holding

 Lead me on"

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Grace Changes Everything

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - 2 Corinthians 12:19

Grace!

The unmerited favor of God that even if we don't deserve, God gave it to us. That's Grace! It is a gift and cannot be earned. It is Free but Not Cheap because it cost the life of  the Son of Man at the cross. As a matter of fact it is costly, no one can ever afford to pay it that's why it's freely given to us.

Every time I look at the Cross, it reminds me of the greatest demonstration of God's Grace! that someone laid His life for a sinner like me. Someone paid the penalty in exchange for our freedom! someone shed His blood so that we may have life. How can we not love Him! We are bought with a price, a price without measure, because in His sight we are precious. What a beautiful exchange. I guess we can never really appreciate the grace of God unless we truly realize how sinful we are because where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more.

It is His grace that embraces who I am. At the cross, Jesus lost His identify so we may have one. An identity that is built in Christ Jesus and not of this world. So make stronghold of your identity in Him and never let anyone steal it. Be secured in Him. Stand on who we are in Christ and not in the eyes of men because at the end of the day, it is still His grace and love that will sustain us.

I thank God for His grace because it is by His grace that I was able to do immeasurable things that my own flesh cannot do. It changes me, it changes everything!:-)
