Choosing to Live Inside the Words in Red! Part 2

I want to live my life in the grace and mercy of my savior. Ever mindful of all He has done and what He has asked of me.

I'm not talking about working to earn salvation. We can never 'earn' our salvation, nor can we do anything that we could consider to make us 'worthy' of what He has done.

I am speaking of living a life worthy of the calling He has placed on each of our lives. I am talking about sharing the good news of the gospel and showing the world His love. I am referring to living a life in His freedom.

I want to live my life expectant of the miraculous. Completely and totally expectant and ready for His return.

"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will." Matthew 24:42-44

Choosing to Live Inside the Words in Red!

At the beginning of every year we all make our New Year’s Resolutions, to which a huge majority of us never keep.

A few years ago, I resolved to never again make another resolution. I had grown weary of the let down from the inevitable realization that I once again, had failed to keep my life altering resolution.

I want this year to be different. I feel that it will be different. I enter into this year with great expectation. I enter into this new year choosing to believe for the miraculous, to achieve what I once thought impossible.

This year I am Choosing to Live Inside the Words in Red. I am choosing to live my life according to what Jesus said.

Beginning with; “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
