Flowing With The Tide!

Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose - Billie Holiday.

Bowing with the wind, flowing with the tide, eases the steps we need to take, the steps that will carry us to OUR personal fulfillment.  Part of the process of our growth is learning to slide past the negative situations that confront us, coming to understand that we are in THIS life to FULFILL a unique purpose.  The many barriers that get in our way can strengthen our reliance on God of the UNIVERSE, if we'll let them.  WE need never be thwarted by people or situations.  WE will profit from taking all experiences in our stride.  THE course we travel is the one we chart,  THE progress we make toward our life goals is proportionate to the smoothness of our steps.

I will flow with the tide.  It will assuredly move me closer to my destination.

The world would be a boring place if we

were all the same.  Celebrate your uniqueness.  You are special and much loved.

* BODY of God's CHOOSING ..

God puts a Soul in a body of His choosing; for GOOD reason. It then remains up to us to make choice/s for our personal destiny in whichever way that may take.

Pause and think of that.

WHAT makes Christianity different from all the other religions of the world? Years ago that very question was discussed at a conference. Some of the participants argued that Christianity is unique in teaching that God became man. But someone objected, saying that other religions teach similar doctrines. What about the resurrection? No, it was argued, other faiths believe that the dead rise again. The discussion grew heated.

C.S. Lewis, a strong defender of Christianity, came in late, sat down, and asked, "What's the rumpus about?" When he learned that it was a debate about the uniqueness of Christianity, he immediately commented, "Oh, that's easy. It's grace."

How right he was! The very heart of the gospel is the supreme truth that God accepts us with no conditions whatever when we put our trust in the atoning sacrifice of His incarnate Son. Although we are helplessly sinful, God in grace forgives us completely. It's by His infinite grace that we are saved, not by moral character, works of righteousness, commandment-keeping, or churchgoing. When we do nothing else but accept God's total pardon, we receive the guarantee of eternal life (Ti. 3:4-7).

Good news indeed. What a gospel! What a Saviour! - VCG

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? - Johnston

By grace you have been saved. - Ephesians 2:8

GRACE IS EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING TO THOSE WHO DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING

"Does caring
for me loom
so large that
it obscures
everything else?
I am still me and
you are still you
and we together have our world
about us". (Carer)
