God's Wonderful Grace!

I often find myself getting into some sort of situation of my own doings. My tongue is forever getting me in trouble! Oh, what that little member can get us into! This week has been a rough week for me, but it has been a wonderful reminder of just how wonderful God's grace is. He is so forgiving and loving! If I could just learn to trust Him to guide me and to give all my "issues" over to Him. This weekend a lady from the church and I went to a ladies conference. We had been off and on about this for a few weeks, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go. Well, I'm glad we went because it was just what I needed. It was as if the speakers knew just exactly what was going on in my life. The sessions dealt with different issues I struggle with. I was so encouraged because yes we sin, but we have a wonderful and loving God who will forgive us. Everyone of us are sinners and it is only by His grace we are who we are today. It's just such a wonderful feeling to know that when we mess up, even it it is really bad He still loves us. It just blows my mind! I'm not sure I could do it. When we sin we sin against Him, personally, yet, if we ask He will forgive. What an Awesome God!!! During one of the sessions the speaker gave an illustration about a rainbow. When I think of a rainbow, I remember there will never be another flood that will wipe out the earth, but the rainbow is a promise that after every storm in our lives God will always be there to dry up the tears. We never have to let sin defeat us because He is there to help and heal. He will never leave us. I've known all of this for years, but it has been a nice reminder. Thank you, Lord, for saving a wretched sinner like me!
