There is a place called Grace. I have been there many, many times and have seen great and wondrous things. “Go home to your friends,” Jesus said, “and tell them the great things the Lord has done” (Mar_5:19). So I am here offering you an invitation to come with me to this place called Grace, and to discover for yourself the great things the Lord has done for you. First, we have to travel light, the less you pack the better. Some people travel with so much stuff that they can not go the distance. They are weighed down with things like opinions, attitudes, suppositions, cherished nonsense and unchallenged beliefs. One said that the mind and heart are like a parachute – they only function when open. So open up and let the wind of God fill your heart and mind with His Word. Jettison excess baggage. Secondly, you do not need to dress up for this trip. The Lord loves each one of us always, but He especially delights when we are unpainted, unstained, unvarnished and unclaimed by this world. You need not try to be someone you are not, nor try to impress others with who you suppose they want you to be. the Lord will take care of all needed changes as we travel And thirdly, this journey will take some time and is not a dash to a nearby mall to buy stuff at discount prices, all in one stop. Tthis trip is going to take some time and will require a commitment on your part to stay the course. There are a lot of stops all along the way, with plenty of distractions that will cause you more than once to think backing out. You can turn back, turn aside, or stop anywhere and anytime you want. But really, stay on course until we reach this place called Grace. It will be worth it, and you will be so glad to made the effort and paid the price. We leave first thing at the break of day.
