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
