Rebounded by Love

Ladies,

Have you been Upended by Grace this week? I hope so. You can take God at His Word and believe that He extends His Grace to you as His dearly loved child. Jesus Christ paid the price at the cross. Believe and accept that you are His dearly loved child Rebound in His Love and live as a Secure Woman of God.

Remember that A Secure Woman is...
Saved from Herself
Entitled to Truth
Clothed with Intention
Upended by Grace
Rebounded by Love
Exceptional in Life

Today we are going to talk about being Rebounded by Love and what this means to you and me. Everything comes back to love. "For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 To live as a secure woman of God we have to believe that God loves us and that we are forgiven and that God extends His grace to us. When we believe this, we can rebound and extend love, forgiveness, and grace to other people.

If you are living in insecurity, and your heart is calloused and hardened, fall at the feet of Jesus and believe. Believe that He died for your sins, that He loves you, and wants to bring healing in your heart. Believe and accept that you are loved unwaverinly as God's dearly loved chilc and let His love permeate your life and change you, then let this rebound in you to extend to others.

My prayer for each of you is that "your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called and that you will live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ." Ephesians 1:18 and 5:1 So let your heart be flooded with love and let it Rebound in your life to others.

In Christ Love,

Upended by Grace

Hi Ladies,

I am praying that each of you are looking to God and living out His calling on your life. We are meant to live in security not doubt and confusion.

Remember that A Secure Woman is...
Saved from Herself
Entitled to Truth
Clothed with Intention
Upended by Grace
Rebounded by Love
Exceptional in Life

Today we are looking at U: Upended By Grace. God extends grace to each of us through Jesus Christ's death on the cross. Jesus Christ gave a gift that we don't deserve and that we can't pay for. It is a free "gift received at Christ's expense" extended to each person who believes. "God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God." Ephesians 2:8.

Trust that God's grace is enough and live in the security of His love and forgiveness. Choose to believe God and take Him at His Word. "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise." Hebrews 10:23. Let His Grace upend your life. Walk, think, and feel like a secure woman.

Believe that you have been forgiven for the sins that you have repented of, then extend grace to others. Don't let offenses build up or unforgiveness control your life. Beth Moore said, "unforgiveness acts like a giant tapeworm that eats us alive, nutrients and all." Forgive and release others from having this power over your life. We can forgive others because we have been forgiven.

So embrace security in Jesus Christ and live your life in victory Upended by Grace. Grace is the only thing that we can keep and give away all at the same time. This is your right as a daughter of the King, to live in security. Let God's Grace upend your life this week.

In Christ Love,
Melody Merritt
