A Heart Destined for Grace is a heart purposed to follow God's will in all things. Jesus tells us in John 16:33, "I have told you these things so that in me, you may have peace. In this world you will have troubles; But take heart; I have overcome the world." Jesus was teaching and equipping His followers, to not become discouraged when situations of this world come against them; but to take heart(do not fear, or let their hearts become troubled) because He had already overcome the world.
Jesus came to prepare the way necessary so we could have His peace in every situation that might arise in our lives. He assures us that in this world we will have troubles, but because He has already conquered ALL things, we are made 'More than conquerors through Him Who dwells within us, (Romans 8:37)! Jesus taught His followers throughout the chapters of St John 14,15,and16 that He would not leave us comfortless but would send us a Comforter Who would teach us in all our ways. So learning to take a step back from any given situation and allow time to discuss it with the Lord, allows Him to step in and guide us in whatever we are encountering, victoriously with grace and truth.
Learning to take a much needed step back from situations and talk it over with the Lord is the beginning of a heart destined for grace; a heart seeking the will of God in all our ways. On a human minded scale, it's easy to jump right in and try to work given situations out on our own, and usually we just make a mess of things and are left feeling awful about the turn out; when the outcome could have been solved much more peaceful, had we taken that step back to communicate with the Lord and allowed Him to guide us in our next move, resulting in a peaceful resolve.
As followers of Christ Jesus, we are destined for a heart of grace; a heart filled with His love and a mind set on things above. Jesus came to bring us a Life filled with Love, with Joy, and with Peace in all our ways. He came that our hearts be filled with His Amazing Grace enabling us to show forth His divine Love one to another. He came that we would have Peace in all our ways. He came, He overcame, and He surrendered His will to the Father's Will, thereby laying down His life for you and me, so we could be pardoned from ALL our sins and live a Holy Life unto Him, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
He desires to be our Lord, our Comforter, our Peace, and Lover of our soul. He desires to shower us with blessings beyond all we could ever imagine and give us the Best Life imaginable through Him. He desires a personal relationship by spending time in His presence, and as our relationship grows, our ears and our hearts become more receptive to His voice so we can follow His guidance in all our ways. He desires to give us that heart destined for grace if only we take time to hear His voice!
I pray you will take the time to get alone with Him and acquire a heart destined for grace so you can truly enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, simply because God loves you and so do I~~~
