Five years from now you won't believe the incredible changes and victories God's grace will have worked in your life. Thanks for your comments! Hey Yeller, It is exciting news! God's grace is even more powerful than we can imagine. I appreciate your immediately thinking of Scripture! Hi Ron, What a great metaphor - God leaving post-it notes for us. Our Lord is powerfully at work in your life, doing far more than you can think, ask or imagine! Thanks for your constant encouragement. Hi Manet, Isn't our God good to sovereignly lead us to things we need to read? Lately Jesus has led me to read "The Godly Man's Refuge" by John Flavel, in his "Works" and the Lord has been speaking powerfully to me through it. To me, this section is worth buying the whole set. Also his book "The Mystery of Providence" is incredibly encouraging. Thank you for letting me know you were encouraged. Hey Emily,

Thank you for this post. This truth seems so far away when one is in a state of losing focus on the Christian life. Indeed God is sovereign, it was no accident that He led me to read this post. I badly needed this encouragement. It is such a difficult task to mortify the flesh, but yes God's grace is greater, more powerful than how I could imagine it to be. Good day, Mark.

Another wonderful reminder this morning! Thank You! Grace truly is greater than our sin, I was just thinking about that this morning. How I tend to strangle myself with my own two hands and do the things that I don't want to do. Sin is always present with me even when I try to do the "good" things. CJ Mahaney talks about God leaving post it notes for us, I'm truly thankful for the HUGE post it note of grace that the Lord leaves for us everyday, Let my eyes be opened to that grace, I so want it to affect my life in a greater way! I'm really thankful for you, Mark. Thank you again for another wonderful reminder that it's all of grace, nothing more and nothing less, praise His name! Blessings Ron Reffett Hey Mark!

When I read this I immediately thought of 1 Peter 1:5 & Romans 1:12... How powerful God's grace is that it can overcome sin. That same power resides in us and gives us the power to change. That power guards us. Wow! That is exciting news!!! “It would seem like sin is the most powerful force in the world.”

Sin is so powerful and strong and its so easy to see that as the most powerful force there is. It enslaves so many areas of my life and I spend so much effort every day attmpting to kill gross sins that need to die so that I can be more Christlike. Its just so easy to get caught in that web. wow. grace is bigger than all that. what a powerful truth. what a needed reminder. i just get all wrapped up in the web of "look how big my sin is" and i miss grace. i miss the gospel. but look how huge it is... wow. thanks. that picture of the tsunami is so accurate - it doesn't minimize my sins, it simply maximizes God and His abundant, overflowing grace to me. that really does give hope - hope not in my own ability to change, but hope in God. thanks.
