Well today is a good day!! I am blessed to have a job to go to, A home to wake up in, A family and friends to share life with... Monday's are really hard for me to get moving. Thank goodness my neighbor holds me accountable to walking so I was up and at it at 5:00am. Not long a quick 1 mile walk but it really starts my day off right!! (Thanks Melissa and Jerry) I got some very sad news this morning and it reminded me of all the things I had listed above. Sometimes I focus on the wrong things really it is quite simple I am so blessed!! Happy Monday!!
Chapter 5:
3-5 I really love this verse and thought it ended with character and that was good enought for me... today I find that character leads to hope.... "and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
6-8 brings up the question who would you lay your life on the line for.... God choose to lay His life on the line for us and I don't know about you but I am so unworthy...
12-14 makes sense although doesn't make it easier!! we all went into sin with Adam and saved from sin with Jesus!
from The Message
18-19Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.
20-21All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.
