Saved by Grace

"I will exalt you, my God the king;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
One generation will commend your works to another;
they will tell of your mighty acts.
They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They will tell of the power of your awesome works,
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness."  Psalm 145:1-7

The LORD alone is worthy of praise.  He takes sinners and redeems them for His glory.  Nothing is too hard for Him.  No one has the life that He can't change.  The marriage that He can't fix.  The kids that He can't reach. The parents He can't redeem.  The child He can't rescue.  The heart He can't change.  He is hope fulfilled.

This will be a place where His story is written.  He has taken our broken lives and exchanged them for His abundant life.  Jesus is enough.  He is the peace and joy we have longed for.  We are on a journey with our King.  The One who saved us from sin and death.  The One who hung on the cross in our place, the death we deserve.  A free gift to all who call Him LORD.  He rose from the grave and conquered death~He lives!!!  And He has given us new life in Him.  Saved by the blood of Jesus.  Saved by GRACE.  How could we ever live the same?

And now by His grace, this family journeys to Uganda.  To live for a time.  An unfamiliar land, no comforts of home, but joy in His presence.  To a people saved by grace too.  Do they know?  Do you know?  He gave it all for you.
