Thank you for the encouraging words!

It's lovely to hear how you've experienced being "washed by Grace" and the benefits it brought you. If only we would get out the way and allow God to help us more as you've described! I'm always blessed by your visits. Thank you for adding your own insights to the conversation here, my friend. :) xJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-21443539482253473222015-05-04T09:07:58.311-07:002015-05-04T09:07:58.311-07:00Hi Rosanne.

Love how you note that we must relinquish the old to make way for the new (someone told me the other day that this also works for material things - if you make room physically for new things to come, in your home, for example, this will open the way for those new things to enter....it makes sense - entropy)....I've experienced how it feels to be washed with Grace, and it taught me to trust in Him and to leave everything in his hands; since these experiences, I've relinquished worry and fretting about circumstances....I've found that it's miraculous how He works when you let Him! Love the last image (I didn't know the Revelation 3: 20, so thank you for introducing me to that; it's so perfect!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-16668678773683678182015-05-01T08:20:22.867-07:002015-05-01T08:20:22.867-07:00Lovely post.
