Once the blood is applied to our lives we are under the law of Grace. <br />I absolutely love your honesty and vulnerabilty to share with us.

One thing I am sure of is there are no coincidences in life. God has a hand in everything. These words came at the perfect time in my life as I have been coming to terms with many sins committed in my addiction. Sadly, I have been unaware of some of these sins. I will definitely be sharing this with some of my friends who are battling the same demons I have been and continue to. What a blessing your posts have been. Thank you again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335087494258260106.post-26911549415238641082012-08-21T08:54:16.988-04:002012-08-21T08:54:16.988-04:00Love this insite on such two difficult topics....s...Love this insite on such two difficult topics....sin and grace. Grace and forgiveness to me are often times the easy part within your relationship to others and within your relationship with the Lord. However, GRACE and FORGIVENESS does NOT always imply RELATIONSHIP. The Lord ofcourse forgives us before we even sin, but as you know with your experience with your COUNSELOR JIM, after grace comes to self-others-Lord....WORK has to be done RESTORE and rebuild trust. THE TRUTH has to be directly linked to Grace and Forgivess. When the offender whether it be you or someone who has sinned against you must bring to life the truth of the sin, admit what they have done, and work towards healing by changing behavior. If this isn't done then like you say, I think you are stuck with the sin within your own grace. Grace is just the beginning of a long journey to wholeness and truthful living. Wish more folks got this! Its about redemption! But this cant happen without Grace, repentence, truth, and effort and DESIRE to be restored!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335087494258260106.post-13585751460195104632012-08-21T00:58:53.901-04:002012-08-21T00:58:53.901-04:00That was a beautiful way to sum up a lot of things...That was a beautiful way to sum up a lot of things.
