Hello friends at Rise Up Lubbock,
This morning was still dark and I was just getting around… I was really looking
forward to my coffee this morning. It had been a while since I had a cup
and I found myself really thirsty for it. I popped a K-cup into my new coffee maker and the aroma of the almond mocha was fabulous. I could hardly wait for it to finish brewing. As Christians we can be exactly like
that when it come to God and his grace. You may find yourself, as I so often
have, in one of those dry spells where work and the pressures of life have
become so overwhelming that I forget to pray. I don’t intentionally disconnect
from my source of strength, but life happens and I look back on my day (or
days) and see that I haven’t made time for God in my life. It has been too long
time since I’ve felt His touch on my life, and I remember the feeling, the surety,
that I’m not on my own, but that my Lord is walking near me. I instantly long
for His visitation, His spiritual touch, and his restoration in my life. Maybe
you have had those very feelings too. The grace of God is marvelously
refreshing, and today my cup is stirred up on the topic of grace. These
thoughts are something to share over coffee with my friends, and, maybe you too
can share it with someone else who is looking for a little grace.
