II Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
When we live life centered around what others like, feel, and say, we lose touch with our own identity. I am an eternal being, created by God. I am an individual with purpose. It’s not what I get from life, but who I am, that makes the difference. –Neva Coyle
Grace: do honor or credit to; adorn; favor
My God is able to create all the combining parts that are needed for me to be fully supplied with grace.
His amazing grace is what keeps me.
His grace helps me retain possesion of myself.
His grace keeps me steady.
God’s amazing grace loves to adorn me. It’s my safety harness. His grace is the strength I need for every work I perform. for every day I wake and live.
It’s not what others think of me, or even what I may think of myself from time to time, that should make the huge difference in my little world; but I should be able to walk in graceful confidence knowing that it is the grace of God that’s made me who I am. That is what makes all the difference. The adorning grace of God.
I am a promise. I am a possibility. I am an individual with purpose. My Father made me that way, an individual with purpose. And it is His overflowing grace that enables the flow of His mercies...throughout today and in my every tomorrow...so that I may be able to withstand, to fulfill, all things He wishes me to accomplish.

God so awes me!!! I stand in awe of His presence in my life. Today I am reminded to:
Not Discount Gentle Whispers....for it just may be God trying to still my heart before the presenting storm.
I wrote this earlier in my day yesterday. Yesterday evening I received a call (totally out of the blue) concerning a "problem" that someone very dear and close to me encountered in less than 24 hours prior--the emotional abandonment of someone else because of how this person felt, perceived, viewed a situation in their life. Through this situation we were again reminded that we should never center our lives around what others think, feel, or say about our lives, but rather, what does God say about us? What does He think?!
If we place our life in HIS hands, forsaking our own will, He works out the puzzles to His own design. We then live in a God-filled, God-centered world and it really matters not whether others are happy with the result or not happy with the result. His plan, His will, has been accomplished. And that is all that matters. Meanwhile, in the hurdles, we cling to His grace.
