Running on Grace

Often times we believe we can do everything ourselves. We rely on our own strength, time, energy and patience in our everyday lives whether it’s work, school or in service. However, there will always be times when our own strength is simply not enough. This can especially be true in service. Even after pouring hours into organizing/coordinating documents, planning and logistics you’ll always be asked to do more and give more of yourself, time and efforts. It’s at these moments that we can grumble in our service or throw in the towel. However, our other option is understanding that we need Him and the only way to carry-on is through His grace. The toughest part of serving can be when you are exhausted, have a full plate of responsibilities and things don’t go according to plan. It can feel overwhelming, but it’s by God’s grace that we can instead say thank you for the opportunity to praise Him and ask for further strength. These are the chances we have to trust Him and His plans. It is not always what we do in service, but the attitude we carry that God cares about. It is an opportunity to reflect God in ourselves to others.
