Overwhelmed by GRACE

I've been a college graduate for over a week now. WOW! I can't begin to describe what a miracle it has been to get this far. I don't even know how to express it. I don't deserve anything, yet the Lord restores me time and time again and blesses my life. I remember days in high school where I thought, "How can I keep going? How is this possible? What am I doing?" In those moments, He sometimes powerfully reminded me He was right beside me being my Helper, and sometimes He kept silent, and I chose to trust Him anyway. He blessed me triple, because He is always faithful even when I am not. Today, I ask those same questions. "How can I keep going? How is this possible? What am I doing?" He once again fills me with overwhelming grace. His grace is enough. Always.

During the rush of each day, the routine of life, and the chaos in my heart and thoughts- One thing remains: His love. Everything changes so rapidly and I could be overwhelmed by a lot, but He calls us to rest in Him. He calls us to relax! He's got it all under control and all He wants us to do is trust Him and keep moving forward. He is true even when we wander and stray off the path. He is constant, forever. What a promise and joy. His grace overwhelms my soul and He satisfies my thirst. The lyrics to the song Thrive by Casting Crowns made me pause to think today:

"Joy unspeakable
Faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable
Anything is possible"

With Him, everything is possible. In Him my future is perfect. In Him, I am complete. Why do I worry? Why am I afraid? Why am I hurting? He makes me new and He holds my heart. How can it be that He loves me so much? How beautiful. We are FREE in Him. Anything is possible through Him.
I have a lot I could be worried about and be fearful about, but with a Savior like ours- nothing needs to be feared. He calls us to himself. "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" - Psalm 46:10


Be still and know Him. Let your heart relax and be refreshed in who you are in Him because of the promise in Jesus Christ. He is more than we can ever imagine. So why don't we just simply trust Him........

Try it. Trust Him. His grace will overwhelm you!
