2cor.5:20-2cor. 6:2 “We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God…..

We then as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the Grace of God in vain;

For a while now God has been teaching me about what Grace, His grace means in our life. And also how that we cannot do one thing to earn anything in this life from God.
      Sometimes it is scary and other times it is so relaxing and worry free. In today’s scripture the Apostle Paul is preaching and teaching about being brought back to God by the “on behalf of Christ” It will be nothing we do that brings us to God but rather, what Christ has already done.” It’s that way in all our life and we learn that little by little; “We can do nothing of ourselves.” to earn something from God.

In chapter 6 He says “now is the acceptable time” so it’s also all done on His timeline and not ours.
      When we can learn these truths and facts of our life we can rest in God’s grace and let Him.

If we can truly learn to live by these principles we will be at peace in every situation; As the Apostle Paul said in Php.4:11, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” [to let what I have and where I am, be enough]
    Our first lesson needs to be, “Let go and let God” Doesn’t that sound soothing….?
and easy,..? Well it's one of the hardest things I ever tried to do; We are so used to doing it ourself, I mean, that's what we were taught..

I even heard that it was in the Bible, "God only helps them who help themselves."

But God says that He will protect them who have no one to protect them. (2) That he will supply all our needs..etc. (3) Be a husband to the widows; sounds like He only helps those who {"can't"} help themselves!! It's called Trust, we give our life to Him, and He takes care of everything concerning us.
