The overflow of pure grace is... pure grace. :) I have such a different outlook now, having spent part of my Christian life "trying" to give and "trying" to be generous and even "trying" to be a witness. When I was opened up to grace, I spent some time just soaking in it and learning more and more about it. The learning will never end, but once a person has been rooted and established in grace, he cannot help but have it affect the way life is lived (and not lived). Indeed, grace opens that outlet in a way that law and "trying" never could. Thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>To follow a thought of a Rich Mullins quote in this post, my ambition to be a good guy is a <I>fleshly</I> ambition. Fleshly ambitions, even if "good," don't bear the fruit of the Spirit. But if my ambition is to walk by the Spirit with the awareness of the indwelling Christ, then I won't have to "try" to be a good guy in order for the fruit of goodness to flow out.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-13054747312699352762007-09-21T02:15:00.000-05:002007-09-21T02:15:00.000-05:00Hi GuysI am comming to the realisation that if you...Hi Guys<BR/><BR/>I am comming to the realisation that if you don't pour grace out, you are not living in pure grace.<BR/>As I am learning to live more and more in the security of my Fathers love, mercy and grace, I can't help loving more and giving more and doing more. I have this desire to tell everyone about the true gospel.<BR/>I think it is like the story of the dead sea. There has to be an outlet. Grace opens that outlet in one and in turn more grace is give.<BR/>It is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Bless youGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345012663136776538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-65236767633410143662007-09-20T12:05:00.000-05:002007-09-20T12:05:00.000-05:00Amen --- a LOT was said in these few words from Ri...Amen --- a LOT was said in these few words from Rich Mullins, and it's quite a lot to keep me meditating upon for a long time to come!Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-2270054819071802932007-09-19T16:22:00.000-05:002007-09-19T16:22:00.000-05:00I wish I could remember all of this all the time i...I wish I could remember all of this all the time in perfect clarity of mind. <BR/><BR/>Thanks a million for posting, Joel.
