My friend, Matt, is attending Moody Bible Institute and recently started a blog with his thoughts and insights about his experiences there. I've already learned so much just by reading his posts! (It's like satellite seminary or something!)
Particularly of interest to me was his post on Grace. Sweet words to my soul. May they nourish you, as well, as you are reminded of the depths of God's Love.
"Grace means that all the goodness of God is transferred to our account because of Christ! We were chosen before we had any opportunity to do anything - good or bad! (Ephesians 1:4,6)"
Thanks, Matt! Always a great thing being reminded that there's nothing I can do to earn this Grace!
Thanks for posting a link to Matt's blog. Very thought-provoking. Although we deserve nothing, we are blessed with everything, because of Who He is, not because of who we are. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteKnow this has been such a tough week for you, and will be praying especially for joy and encouragement in the coming days,
Love Aunt C.
Jessica, have you read, "What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Philip Yancey? If not, I highly recommend it. It really speaks to the subject of God's grace in ways I had never heard before. K
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that book! Yancey always has a new perspective to offer. I love authors that make me think.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, satellite seminary - I love it! =)
ReplyDeleteI love this. What a wonderful reminder.
