TOY - TO:You!

God has given something TO: You! The gift is not opened by the Giver but by the ‘give-e’. What is it that has already been given TO: You FROM: GOD?

“Grace TO you and peace FROM God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!”

The Bible says this same basic statement eighteen times! (Rom 1:7, 1 Cor 1:3, 2 Cor 1:2, Gal 1:3, Eph 1:2, 6:23, Php 1:2, Col 1:2, 1 Thes 1:1, 2 Thes 1:2, 1 Tim 1:2, 2 Tim 1:2, Titus 1:4, Philemon 1:3, 1 Pe 1:2, 2 Pe 1:2, 2 Jn 1:3, Jude 1:2, Rev 1:4)

Now do you think God is trying to tell us something? God must want us to HAVE grace and peace or why would He give it to us? And if He’s given it to us then we must have it. But if we have it then why don’t we always seem to experience it? Simply because we need to receive it, it’s there for us but we have to take it and “open it up!” “Well how do you do that?” First you gotta believe that you have it because it’s an “invisible” gift. I think I’m going to give my kids some of those. haha Well if it’s invisible then how can you find it? Go to the invisible God and ask Him! He’s right there inside of you (if you’ve received Him) and when He moved in He brought all His good stuff with Him. God’s grace and peace is in you right now! It’s like presents under the tree and everything you need is right there under your nose. You don’t have to make a long journey to heaven to obtain it but the one who makes heaven heavenly has come to live in your heart! “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men!” (Eccl 3:11bNIV) He who is in you is greater than anything outside of you! I Jn 4:4 So you can say, “I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].” Phil 4:13AMP You have been INFUSED with grace! When you believe in the One in You and call on Him you light the fuse and the grace bomb explodes and completely soaks you from the inside out infusing you with His strength and power to overcome and do what you alone can’t do. And it’s not just you but God in you who enables you to do! Now you know you can get through it, because God’s in you to do it, so open the gift of His grace and imbue it!
