For God Is God, After All

Creating us to live well

wherever our paths take us.

Leviticus 22:31

Thus you shall keep my commandments and observe them: I am the Lord.

.

John 14:23

Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

Words of Grace for Today –

There are ample reasons to follow God’s commandments.

They are guides for living life as God created us to live.

Why not live well?

How better to live than to live as one is created to?

For a spider trying to be a fly does not do well.

Nor a coyote trying to be a whale.

Nor a person trying to be a god.

Following is good,

it’s just not what saves us

morning, noon, and night of each day.

Only God’s Grace demonstrated in Jesus’ sacrifice to save us can do that.

Knowing we are saved, makes following the commandments possible.

We are not trying to prove something.

We are living out what has been given to us a gift:

Life Abundant.
