With God all things are possible

There comes a time, when you're deeply aware of how much God's grace (favor) has poured into your life, that you simply cannot hold inside you anymore.
You must release it out, let it out. Share it. Jesus said that if you've been forgiven much, you'll love much Luke 7 Matthew 5:16 he said, let your light shine.
I was told shining your light was a metaphor from witnessing, which was the evangelical tradition I find myself apart of, meant giving a verbal witness, sharing the plan of salvation across the line of faith.
If we fully grasp the truth of grace, it would change how e live and especially how we love. We would shine. God's love and grace would flow through us, we'd become graces' conduit.
In many ways, grace and the joy it brings, makes no sense. Which is precisely why it's such a gift . You can try to manufacture a positive attitude without experiencing grace. But it's going to be just that, manufactured. Or you can receive the grace of God, and then choose to let what is already inside simply shine out on everyone around you.
Luke 8:16 no one light a lamp and then covers its with a bowl or hides it under the bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.
Ask Jesus to make you aware of a his grace today, and give you the courage to simply shine.
Have a Blessed Friday and weekend

The Grace of God is everything. We commit sins, and we need to be recomciled to God through repentance. However, Jesus Christ Justifies us to God because he totally took our sins upon him so to justify us when we repent. Christ broke the bands of death giving us the opportunity to be resurrected. After all that, it is still God's loving Grace to allow all that to happen. After death and resurrection that loving Grace will allow us to return to Gods presence.
