I saw the meme to the right a few days ago posted on social media. I saw the number of likes and then went to the comments to see if anyone saw what I saw…

Grace is God’s portion. The beautiful place he calls each of us to live in. We are like the moon shining from the sun’s light not our own will trying to produce the light. #graceis #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Have you ever felt like you were being led to a conclusion on a topic? I am thankful for my memories of a teacher, Ms. Cowan, who made sure we tackled subjects from all sides. She wanted us to be critical thinkers not just re-writing what we have been taught… #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #bothfeetin
The fearful word grace is what started things eight years ago. Grace. Beautiful, wonderful, full of love–grace. For some reason grace, within the church (many times), is put on a leash or in a box. I think I prefer the box analogy…because we don’t want to put God in a box, do we? #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Eight years ago when we were told we had to leave the church we had gone to for the last nine years and not come back, many people who still attended were handed a sermon on CD regarding the “slippery slope of grace”. The truth is there is no “slippery slope of grace”. #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Colossians 2:10 “…in Him”. That little word in is ‘en’ in the Greek. Here is this little word’s definition, which brings so much meaning:.#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #Colossians2 #heneverleavesme
Fear (phobos -noun) causes actions from all people. Just as faith (pistis -noun) causes actions from all people. If we can first see fear or faith as a thing which then moves us into an action (result-verb) then this will make much more sense to us…#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #fear #faith #love #Jesus #Romans8 #heneverleavesme
My #heart and #Faith intertwined as one with God’s heart. A #newcreation I am in #Christ. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance. What an amazing thing. #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou
#Faith, the word, the deeper meaning has me this season. Our perception of this word is important to #believers. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance. What an amazing thing. #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #infraredsauna time #jesusloveme #jesuslovesyou
#Faith in the #kingdomofgod is so much different than this worlds beliefs. God has been talking faith again with me and our understanding of it as humans. This is where I want to start with what he has shared with me. I love going back to what I wrote in my books and then being amazed at what I wrote and then God helping me understand and unwind more. ❤️💙❤️This #Christmas season let go and let God unwindld belief systems and let him teach you something new that is older than time. #faith #love #joy #peace not #fear
Come along with me on an #eightweekchallenge and learn #whereilivefrom ! Week eight is about goodness and a new creation-YOU. The challenge is to rest in God, the vine, from the place of who you are-a new creation and a branch. The scripture is from John 17:22-23. You can read more in Chapter 5 of The Door Is Open. I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as I have. Please don’t hesitate to comment, email or PM me any questions or what the Holy Spirit is showing you! Let’s share this adventure together and learn to not only “say” we live in a place of freedom but actually LIVE from there. Hoping you have found new freedom in Christ! #thedoorisopen #newcreation #vine #branch #fruitsoftheSpirit #HolySpirit #Godistalkingtoyou #freedom #truth #timetoreallylivefree #darlenegaston #christianauthors
