Recommended: Bible essays on forgiveness

This never ending thirst for the unquenchable…or as I thought. One drop may seem umcompraringly unsatisfying. One drop of grace gives you provides me with this overwhelmingl sense of a new day, a new horizon, a delicate fire being enflamed into this uncontrollable need for you Lord. Your never failing love is beautiful but its incredible how your creation takes it for granted. Takes it in vain. The day you dripped the first of never ending drops of blood to come is forever engraved in my heart. You bled us clean. We are the redeemed, we are the forgiven, we are the forever loved, belonging only by grace in God’s beautiful majestic kingdom. In which everyman will no longer suffer, nor will we mourn, stress but rejoice and forever be with our loving Father. Who forgives and forgets unlike people who can not even forgive at most. Lord, ti voglio bene con tutto il mio cuore. But I am sorry for breaking your heart heart every time I grow …show more content…

A simple song to say. Its written on my face, hope’s what we crave.”
I want to breathe again. To not be toxicated by the infamous dark. It knows its target, the laser, the bull’s eye, to shoot at with one hundred percent accuracy. A desperate attempt of mine to untangle the forever knotted hatred, fury, envy, desperate hopelessness. I want to inhale the fresh innocent clean air that awaits for me along with the clear blue skies and entangled greenery. Writing my soul and heart out in this train of thought that keeps running.

I surrendered now. I lifted my hands to yo and cried my heart out to yo. Yet sometimes life gives you these barriers to overcome, like the dark shady color of grey or the drowning feeling of desperateness, so yet I cry out all of my voice, spirit, and soul to you. I love you thank you for sacrificing yourself; the sinless, the pure, thei innocence for the selfish sinful greed of every man. Lord redeem me and mu strength.

Surrender, what does it mean to

  • Brennan Manning: God's Grace

    1001 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the words of Brennan Manning, “something is radically wrong.” As American citizens, we find the Gospel of Grace burdensome. God’s grace seems to be some ephemeral promise that sounds phenomenal but cannot possibly be authentic. We grasp the concept in words but we act utterly opposite. Hidden in our subconscious is the supposition that we must earn all that we receive and that anything given to us freely is of no worth. We believe things such as “There is no free lunch”, “You want love? Earn it”, and “You get what you deserve.” We have sold ourselves into a “no pain-no gain” spirituality downplaying God’s grace but emphasizing our own personal efforts. Brennan Manning put it this way: “Though the Scriptures insist on God’s initiative in the work of salvation – that by grace we are saved, that the Tremendous Lover has taken to the chase – our spirituality often starts with self, not God.” So what does God’s grace actually entail and why is it so difficult for us to accept?

  • The President, Miguel Asturias Use of Fear to Control

    972 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fear causes people to pray for salvation and have Christian resignation because of the hope they gain from it. Christian resignation refers to the submission of a person's life to Christian ideology of salvation and life everlasting. The Christian idea of life everlasting provides an excellent escape from the present life of fear and paranoia. It blinds people from the true desperation present to them in their life. The idea of fear causing Christian resignation becomes evident in the novel when the sacristan tries to remove himself and others from the fear of the government through prayer. "The sacristan's voice spread Christian resignation throughout the prison cell"(202) in order to provide hope from the state of fear they are currently living in. Another example at the end of the novel is when the student's mother is seen praying to God for the people who are dying and "[suffering] persecution of the law"(287) resulting from the president's rule. She says "Kyrie eleison" which is a petition to God ask for him to grant mercy. Her praying for relief from her current sate of fear and paranoia immediately gratifies her with the prospect of liv...

    Grace is arguably the most important idea in the Bible, Christianity, and the universe.

    I find this poem to be exceptional in its meaning, in fact the verse that comes to mind when thinking of this poem is Psalm 51:17 “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” (Holy Bible, New Testament) I believe that the speaker has meaning behind his words he knows that a complete peace and joy come from the awareness of one’s sin, he also believes in the submission of himself to God and the humility of heart.

  • Vanishing Grace Summary

    2308 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the book, Vanishing Grace, Phillip Yancey seeks to explore and understand what has caused a dramatic plunge in the favorable impression of Christianity. He seeks to understand why Christians stir up such hostile feelings, and what, if anything, we should do about it. Yancey’s thesis is that hostile feelings, and a plunge in general perceptions and attitudes about Christian stems from a lack of grace. Yancey decided to write this book after viewing survey results from George Barna. As he states, “A few telling statistics jumped off the page. In 1996, 85 percent of Americans who had no religious commitment still viewed Christianity favorably. Thirteen years later, in 2009, only 16 percent of young ‘outsiders’ had a favorable impression of Christianity, and just 3 percent had a good impression of evangelicals.” Throughout the book, Yancey uses interactions with a book club that he belongs to in Colorado. The members of the club are a potpourri of religious and social

  • Defining Grace

    3600 Words  | 8 Pages

    The Dictionary of the Accademia della Crusca, dating from 16th century Italy, defines grace as "belleza... che rapisce altrui ad amore." Grace is beauty which seduces one unto love. Grace is the prayer before nourishment, it is the passing of power through blood, it is a classical muse, it is a verb, it is liberation, it is a head-ransom, it is a gazelle, it is simplicity, it is complexity, it is sanctifying, it is controversial, it is desired, it is metrical, it is ubiquitous, it is rare, it is actual. "Grace is in all, yet beyond all," quotes a medieval anchoress. According to Castiglione, grace springs from "that virtue opposite to affectation," as an unconscious extension of a certain je ne sais quoi within the soul. Grace is the nature of language, of number, of beat, of silence. Grace is pervasively elusive.

  • The Falling Soldier Poem Analysis

    781 Words  | 2 Pages

    ‘The Falling Soldier’ is one of many poems by Duffy which deals with the subject of human mortality. Duffy expresses what could have been over a harsh reality; this is characteristic of her as also seen in ‘Last Post’ and ‘Passing Bells’ which both seem to be largely influenced by poet peer Wilfred Owen’s personal experiences of war. In the ‘The Falling Soldier’ Duffy paradoxically captures the essence of Robert Capa’s famous photograph of a man falling after being shot during the Spanish Civil War (1936). She employs the form of an impersonal narrative voice, using second person to question the possibilities, to explore the tragic and cyclical nature of war. The futile reality of war contrasts to her central theme in ‘The Bees’ anthology of bees symbolising the grace left in humanity.
