Not by accident

I have been wondering if I am suppose to be in the "Breaking Free' bible study until yesterday when God spoke to me so strongly through His Word. There it was in black and white, what I know God has been trying to tell me for the last 4 weeks. I am still trying to deal with His instructions to basically clean up my junk and act like His Child instead of a spoiled earthly child.
Now I can't really say that I am enjoying the chastisment but it is necessary, so necessary. I haven't been showing any of God's glory lately. I have let satan use me to fulfill his purpose and keep me bondage. Well, my wonderful Lord has given me the key. I am out of chains and I am going to throw them so far away that I won't hear them even rattle.

Thank Lord Jesus,
You came to set me free
You died to let me live
I won't let satan take away
all the freedom your blood
paid for on the cross.

Amen

Life Song--in writing

It is Saturday night and as I finish up the bulletins for tomorrow's service
I just realized that the verse on the front of this week's is exactly what my life song is:

Saved By Grace
When I stood
condemned to death
He took my place....
Loved and forgiven,
back with the living
I'm just a sinner
Saved by grace.
