Love Rules, Without Rules

Do you ever fall into the discouragement trap? The one where all of life's problems seem to be closing in on you and you don't know which way to turn. I think we all have been victims of this trap many times during of lives.

But God doesn't want us to feel trapped.

We must fight to overcome this and the trap of discouragement! The way to do this is by following God's command to put on His full armor so we will be able to stand against Satan's attacks.
Discouragement is from the enemy. Don't let the enemy win! We need to be in constant communion with God, every minute of every hour of the day. It's through His name that we can overcome.

Strength and hope are found in Jesus Christ! Just reach out for Him....He is always by your side to see you through and release you from the trap that Satan tries to set. Even when we fall into Satan's discouragement trap, I am so glad there's a way out! Christ freed us from the law of rules. Praise The Lord, I am free in Jesus' name!

Here it is: God does not demand perfection in you. God is not expecting you to measure up. God never thought that you could live the Christian life, nor does he expect that you could actually meet his holy standards. If he thought that you could, he wouldn’t have come to earth to die for you. But he did.

God is aware of the gap between his perfection and your sinfulness. Even as Christians, there is a constant tension within us to try to close that gap, so that we feel more comfortable, so that we feel closer to God. Some will try to close the gap by trying to lower God’s standards: “God doesn’t really mean…” Others will try to close the gap by trying to raise their performance: “I’ll try harder…”

What does God say about this gap? It’s there and it will always be there. But you, who have put your faith in Jesus, received him into your life, have been forgiven, declared righteous, precious in his eyes, held in his hand of care. You are completely His and He loves you unconditionally, in spite of the gap....Love rules, without rules!
