Qualified by Grace (A testimony of God's grace)
✍🏽 By Kay Daniels
What I know of God’s Word today is simply a function of grace. By myself, I am not qualified to gain access to the mysteries of the kingdom. This grace flows because I desire, more than anything else, a Father–Son and friendship relationship with God and Jesus Christ.
I do not only see God as King, Master, or Governor, but much more as my Heavenly Father. This gives me unhindered access to His presence and, in turn, to depths in His Word. With your father, there are things you naturally gain access to—not by striving, but by relationship. That is what I enjoy by grace, not because I am more spiritually engaging than others.
And as my Friend, Jesus reveals to me treasures from His knowledge chest.
📖 “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” — John 15:15
What the Son of God accesses by His relationship with the Father, He makes known to me through the “kingdom emotion” — the Holy Spirit.
📖 “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.” — John 16:13
So my admonition to you today is this: walk with Jesus and the Father through the Holy Spirit, one day at a time. Do not allow your weaknesses to frustrate your relationship with God. Even with our earthly fathers, we sometimes walk in error, yet it does not cancel the reality that we are still their sons.
👉🏽 You are qualified by grace — not by your good works, but by your sonship.
Selah.
