The message of grace says to me that whatever you do or have done, wherever you go or have been, whoever you are or have become, it doesn't matter, because no matter what, God carries you, and He will carry you all the way home.
"Since the day you were born, I have carried you along. I will still be the same when you are old and gray, and I will take care of you. I created you. I will carry you and always keep you safe."
Isaiah 46:3-4 (CEV)
You never did have to carry yourself or your life..this life was never 'all up to you,' was never in your hands to 'make or break.' That's law, anyways, and HE has always been Grace! He has always had your life in His hand, always had the end safely wrapped up from the beginning. You could never have messed this up! You have never been in any real danger. You have always been SAFE in His arms. This God has been our Home for all eternity, from all eternity TO all eternity! From everlasting to everlasting He is our God, the God who carries us, who daily bears our burdens, who believes all good things about us, who never lets us down, who is faithful and true even if we are not, who never fails even when we fail!
So what if we fail! When we fall, we fall right into His strong arms, for underneath us are the everlasting arms, holding us up no matter what! It was never up to us to fail or succeed, or even believe or doubt - it was always up to God, who shows mercy, compassion, heartfelt love and kindness that never ends but is new every morning, surer than sunrise! It was always all about Him, and HE never quits, never gives in, never fails..He is the Love that lasts forever, goes on without end! If it were up to us, things would be in doubt..but since it is up to God, it's DONE! Love never fails! Love is always there to catch us, hold us, bring us through anything..Love always will always carry us through!
A Thought: I have always been safe in His hand and I always will be.
