We just came off of our church 21 day fast, and it was amazing. God showed me so much in this time, I could fill a book. However, my fingers are tired, so I will type just a small portion of what He worked in me. Ready for this???

Accept God’s Gift of Grace. It is not earned, there is no way I can act good enough to earn His Grace or love. That was a biggie for me.

All my life I grew up thinking that I’d better be good, or else God will be mad at me. He won’t like me or accept me because I am not doing something right. That I couldn’t pray to Him and get my prayers answered because I wasn’t super spiritual, or that I was living so heavily in sin that He wouldn’t be able to hear my prayers. It was performance based love. In reality He loved me even before one of my days were here on earth. Hows that for a thinker? (That is southern slang…thought I’d throw that one in there) It still is hard for me to grasp sometimes, after several years of truly living my life for Jesus. Once I think I am on the right track, then BAM I am living a performance based life again. So during this fast God was really trying to tell me, “I love you Sarah just as you are. No amount of good deeds, or bad deeds is going to change that.”
