God’s Grace, Our Motivation
11 God’s marvelous grace[a] has manifested in person,
bringing salvation for everyone.[b] 12 This same grace teaches us how to live each
day as we turn our backs on ungodliness and indulgent lifestyles,[c] and it equips us to live
self-controlled, upright, godly lives in this present age.[d]
Footnotes
2:11 Grace
extends God’s kindness and love to us every moment and makes us “worthy” of his
acceptance. Grace is unconditional, unmerited, indescribable favor from God.
2:11 That
is, grace has revealed a salvation available for everyone. Or “God’s marvelous
grace has appeared to all, bringing salvation.”
2:12 The
Greek word for “ungodliness” is singular, while the word for “indulgent
lifestyles” is plural. This has led some scholars to believe that we are to
turn our backs on both the root principle of ungodliness and the specific acts
that result from ungodliness.
2:12 These
three adjectives—“self-controlled,” “upright,” and “godly”—refer to our
behavior, our behavior toward others and toward God.

As I start this year reading through the
wonderful gift of a new book. “The Red Tent” by “Anita Diamant” PICADOR a novel that was a New York bestseller
and glimpse into life of the women of the Bible like no view has always seen. An amazing feat like no other as is that of
women in this century. Slavery,
pain, beauty, and purpose. With so
many lost along or losing along the way and steps in the journey they take daily. Happy New Year, happy blessed 2022 to all or any
who follows me and shared moments through Pieces Of Me Over Time.
Blessed we made it out of 2021 and up again
thankfully so to the one that gives breath in the lungs we breathe deep and
slowly exhale or panic filled with any anxieties at the spirits of what we do
not understand; Yet! Our choices are our own without a doubt. We can choose to feed the demons of darkness
that rob us from life and time that we can never get back. Or we can feed the spirits of light while
purposing to all that is good. Being
that flicker of light even when it seems no one sees.
Life could be so far worse; life could be so
much better. We may never know. But what we should acknowledge is life is
what it is until it is not. Life is
what we purpose to enhance it to be. So be it we make mistakes that add things
that should not be. Harder times to
work instead of leaving us moments to reveal smarter ways. Sometimes brokenness of others, sometimes brokenness
of our own being. But all times
blessed that we are allowed back up to make a choice in our freedom of will
and choice. Even if, even when! As a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, mother
to biologicals, mother to spirituals.
Friend of all and lover of God.
A journey that by rights should not have been but allowed to be so. No one deserves anything on this earth. When we figure out, we over me, or its not
about me and the Me’ism that feed our selfishness. Although in the world we live and all that it
teaches we are too be something famous and collector of things that will at
some point be discarded for others to pick through if they do not break in to
take along the way. So, little I still know about the balance and
holding on to all that is been granted and good all the while fighting the demons
that come for rescue all the while they pretend to be all they will never be.
What will this year be? Whatever Jesus breathes life into or
allows. Prayerfully my bloodline
will suffer not. My friends and
connections will be blessed in peace and promise to prosper, heal, and
continue to grow forward.
Letting go of what does not grow forward and
planting good wherever steps may lead. Perfectly placed any days we are allowed back
up. Perfectly blessed when taken home
to be with the creator. Life in and with Christ be it circled up which
is a blessing when love is shared. Or
alone within whatever the creator allows. Strength, courage, and great peace in Jesus
Christ… may God allow the blessing for me and all I ever connect. Learning the balance of when to hold on,
when to let go and never being stuck in between. Thankfully blessed beyond purpose, reason and deserving. Life is because we have been granted it
to be so. Just as the starts are placed,
we are. Never doubt your worth or
promise and when unsure ask Jesus to join you in the journey and lessons of
what is to be. Love, mercy, and abundant grace. Get up and own who you are.
