Recently, a loved one was telling me how tough it was being connected to a dialysis machine in their home every night.  While he was thankful for the technology that allowed him to do the treatments at home, he felt as if he was tethered to something that greatly limited his mobility. He didn’t like that feeling.

His experience caused me to do some introspection regarding what was setting boundaries/limitations for me, but on a mental and spiritual level rather than physical. Thinking through some things that were holding me back became a good lesson for me. And it helped me make a key decision:

I want my heart tethered to Grace!

Being tethered to God’s grace will mean that I am never without hope because He is always with me. And as His daughter due to the finished work of Christ on the cross, I am identified as His beloved. Due to the outpouring of His grace,

• I am accepted in the Beloved.  (Ephesians 1:6)
• He is well pleased with me because I am in (joined with) Christ. (Romans 8:1)
• There is great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. (Hebrews 6:18)
• Hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. (Hebrews 6:19)

Hope is a result of accepting God’s grace. So yes, I want to always be tethered to grace so that I can gladly be tied to the anchor for our souls! It won’t act to limit me in a negative way.

 

Helping others see their way to the grace of God is something I love doing. To  tighten your heart’s ties to Grace and to increase your hope for victory over your life’s circumstances, check out my latest book, Believe You Can Reign In Life, a 31-day devotional.
