Grace Filled Girls
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.”
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.”
Words
that were written in 1779 and still make something on the inside of us do
cartwheels! There is nothing as life
changing as GRACE! Nothing as life
altering, world rocking, nation shaking, & soul transforming as GRACE! What if we were ‘Grace Filled Girls’ that took
the grace we’ve received and gave it out to the world?!!
Proverbs
31:20 says, “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” In the amplified version it says, “She opens
her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches
out her filled hands to the needy [whether in body, mind, or spirit].”
Her
hands are filled so she can reach out!
What are your hands full of? How
about GRACE?! Girls that have been
touched by grace -should be a green-house of GRACE! A green-house is a warm atmosphere that
attracts the Son and produces fruit! As
His girls on earth we should cultivate grace, nurture grace, & extend grace!!
Have
you been touched by grace? Strengthened
by grace? Embraced by grace? Changed by grace? Encouraged by grace?
If
you are the girl I’m talking about, then you can be the one that God uses to
extend His grace to others. He wants you
to be a conduit of His grace, His goodness, His kindness, and His love.
Here
are a few examples of how you can extend
grace….
To your husband… when he gives you
the wrong directions at the airport and you’re looking for the car in snowy, 19
degree weather for 1 hour. You can give
him a piece of your mind:)… or extend grace!
To your teenager… when you are
getting ready to speak at church, it’s time to do your hair and she has taken
your flat iron to a sleepover. Then she
arrives to church with her hair in a bun and you have half straight, half
frizzy hair in front of the whole church!
You can either ground her for a week:))… or extend grace!
To your small
children…
when your son gets up every day for a bowl of cereal first thing in the
morning… and every morning the cereal overflows and milk goes all over the
place. You can either freak out every
day, every morning:)… or extend grace!
To
your friend…
To
your coworker…
To
your neighbor…
To
your church…
To
the needy…
To
the hurting…
EXTEND
GRACE!!!
