God's grace

Romans 5:1-2 "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

the grace in which we stand ... those are powerful words to me. God's grace is given freely to all who will accept, to all who will believe. You do not earn it; it is a gift. Jesus died on the cross to pay our sin debt because He loves us. Do you know him today? He won't turn you away? My Jesus, sweet Jesus. Accept his free gift today.

Romans 5:3-5 continues on with more encouragement: "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Excerpts from Charles Stanley Intouch.org devotional reading



Continue to pray for baby Anna Grace as she is having heart surgery at this very moment. She is in Charleston having the Norwood procedure. Pray for her and for the doctors. Pray for her mom and dad as this has to be their most difficult day ever. Pray for complete healing and miracles beyond miracles ... to God be the glory.

prayer request

With all the hype of facebook I really don't know if anyone reads this blog. Nonetheless I still write on occasion as I feel the desire. Right now my heart wants to ask you to pray for the heart of one very precious little girl, Anna Grace. She is brand new in this world and is going to have major surgery tomorrow (the Norwood - I believe is the name). I know another child that I asked you all to pray for named Charlotte who also had the same surgery and she is past her first birthday :-) Emma Kate's picture is on the front page of my blog and she is also a "heart baby" who is past her first birthday. I say that because right now is crucial to my friends and their baby. I am sure that the parents are all torn inside as they trust the Lord and then wait for the results ... Please pray for Anna Grace and for Brian and Tina her parents. Pray for their extended family taking care of Anna Grace's big brother, Z. Pray for the doctor's to have wisdom. Pray for God to be glorified through all. Thank you for reading. If you'd like to find out updates you can go straight to Anna Grace's parents web site : .www.baasheepbaa.blogspot.com/

Also if you feel led and want to let them know that you are praying for them I am sure the encouraging words will help during this most trying time. thank you. God bless you.
