Matthew 20:29-34

Thank you all for your prayers and support. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many loving and caring friends who Do look on me with grace and help me through my faults. Like i had said before Grace is for progress.

I was reading Matthew 20:29-34 and it resonated with me and these last few hectic days. Though I am saved and I Have known the Lord for some time now I let myself slip. I found myself as a "blind man" outside the city gates. Now in Matthew it says there were two men which is ironic. Because one of my best buddies were in the same place. I found my self giving him advice that i needed to give myself. In the midst of getting so caught up in foolish things i lost sight of Gods bigger plan for us all.

Over the last four days or so ive really fleshed this out and ended up running back to God, not even realizing how much i had been drifting away. I was so broken that all i could do was shout out "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

It was a night of restlessness and I found myself in the midst of a huge spiritual battle. Though the "crowd" kept telling me to be quiet, i found my self crumbling at the feet of my savior.

The amazing part about it is that His response to my surrender to Him... (me realizing im not worthy but still turning to Jesus), was that he asked "what do you want me to do for you". I asked for the Grace to make it through this and to get back up on my feet now that i've fallen. I got what i needed. and "recived my sight". now all i can do is follow Him.

Im so grate ful that God's Grace has restored my sight so that i can see His bigger plan and live with intention to be intune and do my part in what i have been called to do for the Kingdom of God.

My prayer is that we can accept Gods grace and move foreward in a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Also that we would allow Gods word to speak to us in our lives and that we would recive scripture into our hearts and let it guide us,in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, so that we may continue to stay "in tune" with God's plan which is bigger that we could ever concieve.

I had a very similar experience last night at my church's alter.
God's grace never ceases to amaze me.
