From: "Dwayne Savaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   Gods Work Ministry Inspirational and Encouragement E-Mail Dear Friend, The love and mercy that God has towards His creation can never be measured by our finite minds.  His love reaches from everlasting to everlasting and is offered with purity never having a motive or a set of requirements to receive this great love.  The Bible says that we love God because He first loved us.  When we meditate on His goodness and mercy, it is impossible to not have a deep love for God and be thankful for what He has delivered us from in times past. I pray that you think about what God has done in your life and see the many moments that His grace covered your life and delivered you from the snares of the enemy.  Always remember that God loves you greatly and nothing in your past could stop Him from loving you and receiving you unto Himself again. (Psalm 103:8-18) (1 John 4:19) (2 Corin. 5:17-19) I hope this message speaks to your heart to appreciate and be thankful for God's grace that is limitless in its ability to get us through in the difficult times of life. GRACE: UNEARNED AND UNEARNABLE! Grace - God's unmerited favor on the part of the recipient. It is unearned and unearnable! It is free to the one who receives it but costly to the one who bestows it. It cost our Lord Jesus His life. A kind of 'merit system' permeates our lives; we have adhered to the 'work for reward' mentality. So when grace does come our way, we sometimes hesitate in believing the giver. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran minister who stood against the tyranny of Nazi Germany and paid with his life, said, "Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves: grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. But costly grace...is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble, it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows Him." God's grace brings about qualities of conduct in the believer and can change one's life. Sometimes we find ourselves with a task that simply looks too big for us. We do not just need a cup of God's strength added to our own; rather we need His strength in us, and He will give it! God says, "My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness" 2 Corinthians 12:9. Seeing our weakness as the entry point of God's strength gives access to His power! "And God is able to make all grace abound to you so that in all things at all times having all that you need you will abound in every good work" 2 Corinthians 9:8. He can give you what you need as you face a particular challenge. His grace will extend to your emotions, too, so that you will be able to overflow even to the point of touching others. "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16 Author Unknown Read and meditate on these scriptures: Psalm 32:7-8 "Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye." 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever." Romans 6:14-17 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you." Psalm 91:14-16 "Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him My salvation." All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible. Today's Selected Poem:  MORE THAN ENOUGH Click here to read --- http://www.Godswork.org/inpoem108.htm Today's Selected Testimony:  IT JUST CLICKED Click here to read --- http://www.Godswork.org/testimony77.htm ================================================ From: "Dwayne Savaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   Gods Work Ministry Inspirational and Encouragement E-Mail Dear Friend, We who have put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ to be our Lord and personal Savior have received a gift that will last forever.  The Lord saves us from death to life and from eternal darkness and damnation to His eternal light and joy.  This gift is not meant to be kept to ourselves, but is to be spread to all people sharing with them the treasures that the Lord Jesus possesses in Himself.  He is the gift that we receive when we come to Him in repentance and in exchange for our sins, He gives us His forgiveness and peace that surpasses all understanding.  If you know of the joy that I speak of, then it is a mandate on your life to share with others what you know in your heart is true. (Philippians 4:7-8) (Romans 10:13-15) I hope you are both challenged and inspired by today's message to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all those who don't know Him in truth and realize that your intervention if accepted will be appreciated for all eternity by the receiver. JUDGMENT DAY I was standing at the seat of judgment, waiting for my turn Thinking of the houses and the treasures I would earn Thinking of how I'd lived my life just as a Christian should Thinking of how I'd always done what was right and what was good. I knew that when my turn would come with the Father and the Son They would look at me and my life and say to me "Well Done" I knew that I was sinless, and my life beyond reproach I got more excited as my time began to approach. But just then I looked around and who should I see, But the lady that I worked with, just down the hall from me We always passed each other with a wave and a smile And when the time would allow we would chat for a little while We would talk about our jobs, our kids, and various little things. Our conversations always pleasant and laughter it would bring Just then she looked up, and her teary eyes locked with mine And my smile faded when I realized she was in the other line She began to speak the words that broke my heart in two It pains me now to remember as I share these words with you. She said "Why didn't you tell me about the God that you do know, You went to church each week but never invited me to go? You never told me of his saving mercy, that he died on the cross And now it is too late for me and my soul's eternally lost I see you saved yourself and that you are among the chosen few, But tell me, couldn't you have made an effort, to try and save me too?" Just then I sat straight up in bed, my heart pounding in my chest Thank God it was just a dream, but my spirit still couldn't rest I realized that I couldn't keep my God a secret among friends But that I must learn to always share the hope that the gospel lends. So I encourage you not to wait until it is too late Go and tell everyone you meet that your God is so, so great! Author Unknown Read and meditate on these scriptures: 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Corinthians 6:2 "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation..." Isaiah 55:6-7 "Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
