Crossed into Grace

Dad are you good?
Texas is a fine place to be especially in the country. I've been constructing this fence lately for some cattle that are coming soon. As I was digging holes today for the posts I felt a nudge and reminder that I'm going deeper with Jesus. I began to get overwhelmed to the point of tears at our Dads pursuit of us! I felt a grace and a huge bliss on freely giving away everything that has been deposited in me spiritually. It reminded me how our Father has freely given us his beloved son Jesus! The key I believe that Jesus was so able to freely love and end up dying and doing the Fathers will had to do with the truth that he totally knew he was 100% loved. You might be thinking well yes he is Jesus of course he knows he's loved. Yes very true , but he also said that as he is so are we in this world. Holy Spirit is pretty revved up to make sure we as sons and daughters know we're 100% loved at all times and this isn't based on our good deeds or how obedient we were this week. Our Father has full confidence in us! He is really convinced and really does believe in us. Holy Spirit is releasing a reality to you that you are 100% loved and the Father is extremely proud of you!!

Is this for real!!!
Foreign?
Does the proclamation that your efforts aren't needed offend you because of what Jesus Christ accomplished for you in order to make you righteous, holy and his ? It's ok if it does it did me when I first heard this potent message of radical grace. The reason why it highly offended me had to do with the fact that it took none of me and I for Jesus to complete the union. If ya think about it, it really is amazing that because of his love he invited us into that reality. He and the Father could have totally stole the show, but they wanted us to be included and oh did they. Most of us don't have a problem believing Jesus died for our sins , but it gets way more up close and personal than that. He became our sin, unholiness, unrighteousness, and sanctification. Imagine this homeless person who has this rancid smell with whom you can barely come near. Jesus chose to put our old corrupt nature on, he chose to fully associate with every part of our fallenness yet with out blemish. He became every mistake and failure every heart break, every secret we wouldn't tell anyone and chose to hang there beat to a pulp so that we could be his!!! Church we belong to a Lord who is extremely generous in love. Let Holy Spirit bring revelation to your heart about the beautiful union we are currently existing in!!
There is always hope!!
