Day 13 "Grace Has Brought You Peace"
Good Morning Beauties!
We all want peace, right? Peace in the world, peace with people, and peace in our hearts. How do we get it?
I believe peace is a direct result from receiving God's Grace - His unmerited favor. There is absolutely nothing we can do to earn God's Grace, and that's where we stumble. We still try. We stress and strive to be good enough to earn His favor, and we fail every time. This cycle of failure brings anything but peace.
It's understandable because the world tells us that if we're good enough, we will be accepted and successful. People will like us, we will get that scholarship, we will get that job promotion, we will get Prince Charming, get the big house, the kids, the all-star Mom status, and finally have everything we've ever wanted, right?
God tells us we're already loved and accepted. Jesus died for us to reconcile us to The Father, and there is nothing we could ever do to earn it....all we have to do is Believe and Receive it.
Can you imagine it? A life free from all the stress of trying to earn God's acceptance? A life knowing you are already good enough. No more striving, no more pressure.....just PEACE.
Author Jenifer Jernigan writes in her book, Dive Deeper, "God’s peace, a result of His grace, dispels the war within my heart and mind. The chaos in my life that came from trying to live up to the perceptions and expectations of others was driven out as He restored me to Himself, quieting my heart and mind."
Do you want this kind of peace? Look no further than God Himself. Spend time today seeking Him and His Amazing Grace.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
