God's mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23
A girl needs GRIT and GRACE to run this race of faith well.
GRIT … is (1) fighting the good fight of faith and refusing to give up. (2) Hanging on to hope in the midst of discouragement or paralyzing pain. (3) Being brave to push aside all the lies, entanglements, and distractions that seek to derail or imprison her. (4) Hanging onto childlike faith despite the negativity in this world. (5) Having courage to forgive unconditionally so she doesn’t get stuck. And (6) possessing a bulldog tenacity to run her own race well and not live to please everyone else. Every. Single. Day.
Then there is GRACE. She needs lots of God’s Grace to ENABLE her grit, amen? “Flowing in God’s Grace” requires her to receive it, live it and freely give it away. Dancing with Jesus and letting Him lead. Being more than ok in her weakness so Jesus can be made strong in her life. In Jesus, she will discover her true identity, purpose and the strength to live her story the way He dreamed it to be for her.
