Gifts


God is the God of more.  God always has something more for us.  We are not created to just make it through . . . but to receive the gifts of God.  The Apostle Paul often referred to hope that the people would receive the grace and peace of God. 
 Regardless of circumstances, living in the realm of grace and peace changes how we live.
Seriously, we live in an era that defines our state of being by what kind of circumstances we have. While awareness of what others are going through is a vital component to a Christ-follower caring for others, we need to balance life with the freedom to enjoy it and take time to experience grace and peace.
