grace through faith. And we walk out our relationship with
God and His plans for our lives the same way we receive
salvation: by grace through faith.

This is possible because Jesus made the perfect sacrifice
for us when He gave His life, taking our guilt and condem-
nation and paying for our sins. Through a personal relation-
ship with Jesus, we access God’s grace so we can do what
He’s calling us to do.

It’s so amazing to know that God is always with us, giving
us His grace for everything we need to do in life. Trust God’s
unconditional love for you today. Do what you can do and
give Him everything else. And when you find yourself get-
ting frustrated or feeling overwhelmed, like you just can’t do
it anymore, remember to stop, get your focus back on Him
and enter into His rest once again.
