GOD'S SON came for ALL...May you find HIM this HOLY season! You cannot help but LOVE EVERYONE when you KNOW that GOD SENT HIS SON...FOR ALL! Yes, there are some people that seem unlovable, but there is GRACE for ALL who BELIEVE!
BELIEVE and receive this LOVE!
It was a bit rocky for me a few weeks ago and then again on the day after Thanksgiving. It's like that with mental illness and especially for those like me. Bipolar is not fun, but I'm learning that MUCH GOOD lies ahead. I am fortunate to have found a great counselor and a great psychiatrist who are both helping me to heal! I'm learning that GOD never gives up on me. That night my husband listened and showed his inexhaustive support. THEN he talked to our daughters and came back to share that they "understood". THEN each daughter came to me to show their support. The next day was my mother's 86th birthday party and I didn't think I'd be able to attend or even make it to church that Sunday. (My church has always been a SAFE HARBOR.) I attended the party and went to church the next day. I continued throughout that week with God's GRACE making me ABLE to "accept myself".
THEN...We attended the celebration of a CD RELEASE at GRACE CHURCH! This CD is called WHO CAN STAND. ONE of the "take aways" was that NONE OF US CAN STAND...EXCEPT for the GRACE of GOD and BECAUSE of JESUS "taking it all" for ALL of us! THIS Friday was MUCH different than the one before just one week earlier! I realized how LOW I was and how HIGH HE had lifted me once again! I was renewed! I was forgiven and I got over "myself" and my "mistakes". AMEN!
Is there any other CHRISTMAS GIFT needed? NOT for me! I will ALWAYS enjoy this celebration of LOVE because JESUS is GOD'S GIFT...one that keeps on giving because we are forgiven for sins past, present and future...NOTHING COMPARES! I am LOVED!
My wish for YOU...ALL of you...is that you FIND JESUS and then SHARE HIS LOVE with all you meet this season. GOD is LOVE and he shows HIS LOVE because of a TINY BABY! This SON (HIS ONLY!) came to save us ALL! Now go ahead and RECEIVE!!!
SPECIAL THANKS to Brian and Rachel Lusky (and all the "team")for SHARING their talents in the GIFT of this CD. Brian is our Pastor of Worship at GRACE CHURCH and I wish everyone could experience this GENIUS of MUSIC. He's not just sharing notes and words, but GIVING GOD'S MESSAGE! He does this very well and I appreciate him AND his "team"! Going down Grubb Road to GRACE CHURCH is ALWAYS a SPIRITUAL JOURNEY for me and for my husband. I invite anyone who is able to come and join us there ANY time! You will be taking a STEP in the RIGHT direction!
ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF JESUS AND BECAUSE OF GOD'S FORGIVENESS!

Merry Christmas! I wish I could've made it to the release party for Brian's CD on Friday. We had to go get outfits for our Christmas Card picture. I can't believe how busy we are with 2 kids :)
ReplyDeleteSooo many times I've been so "low" in my life and then when I look back I realize that it's only through God's Grace that I've made it through. Thanks for sharing and sorry for not commenting too often.
