Seven Journaling Jots to Inspire You #Week 4
Explaining the feeling of God's Grace...
My weekly personal note:
(Skip down to the weekly journal jots if you prefer.)
Good morning, Friend!
Last week, as we were facing a trial, I was able to experience God’s GOODNESS and GRACE in a special way.
God’s GRACE is a feeling of satisfaction, that He is enough. GOD is in total charge. There is no need to FEAR because GOD is right there, holding you up… a calmness and stillness in the midst of a storm. A peace. He is ALL that and more!
God also uses others to give you those tangible “hugs” and “encouragements” from Him…even if they don’t know or understand what you’re going through.
You know what? We’d totally miss out on experiencing this special, unique GRACE from God if we never went through trails!
I certainly want to be one who will encourage others. I want to a dispenser of encouragement and blessings to others! Everyone is going through a hard time in some way.
You and I all face frustrations and difficulties in life. Let’s seek to be a blessing to others as often as we can. Let others see God’s love, mercy and goodness through us!
Before I end my personal chat with you, let me share this Bible verse today…
“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:” - II Corinthians 9:8 kjv
Keep walking in faith,

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” - Psalm 51:10 kjv

7 Journal Jots: (Use these ideas for your own journal or ministry)
GUILT is the result of seeking holiness to convince GOD to love us, instead of seeking holiness because we are persuaded that He already loves us.
Your relationship with GOD is NOT meant to be “personal.” (*Kept private) It’s meant to be shared!
“It is IMPOSSIBLE to love the Word of God without loving the GOD of the Word.” - Dr. Guy Goodell (Note: I was thinking you could also say these words backwards, and it would still be true — It is IMPOSSIBLE to love God without loving the Word of God. If we truly love God, we will want to read His Word more!!)
“God judges what we give by what we keep.” - George Muller
“The only thing that kept me from straying too far or sinking too deep during the hard times was the Scripture that GOD had led me to memorize in the good times.” - Danelle Polmer, Missionary wife to China
“Some people dream of SUCCESS…while others wake up and work hard at it.” (Note: I forgot to write down who said this quote, but I’m taking this action in my own life to get up earlier and work harder. I want to be successful in my Christian walk, as well as in my other endeavors.)
QUESTION: Do you remember the reason GOD put you here? (It’s to give Him glory.) What are some ways you are giving glory to GOD in your life?
