ACCEPTED JESUS’ INVITE

Peace of Shrapnel

Bite-sized testimonies of the pin being pulled.

I remember when I used to party hard, I would drunkenly tell people that the happiest time in my life was when I went to church youth group. I would say, “one day I will get back with God.” At my lowest point, I still felt God’s presence. I didn’t feel guilt, embarrassment, or shame when my focus was on Him. I only felt comfort. After the pin was pulled, I stopped settling for artificial happiness. I took my eyes off my failing performance and refocused on Jesus’ perfect performance. God is the source of my joy now, not my behavior.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:15-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

FAITH vs GRACE

Sounds a little harsh to use the phrase "get stuff," but that's pretty much where I was if I'm being honest. If I needed healing, if I needed provision, if I needed favor, I would whip out the faith scriptures and go to confessing. I don't blame the sincere preaching...
