Thankful Thursday ~ Rescue


It's Thankful Thursday and my good friend Iris is our host at Grace Alone. The theme she chose is ...rescue.

I'm so thankful that I've been rescued from myself. I was born a sinner but I've been saved by the blood of Jesus. He paid my account in full so now ...I have peace with God.

Life may not be easy but I know I'm never alone. I live by faith in the One who saved me.

My heart is joyful as I allow this truth to sink in. This world isn't my home; I'm just passing through.

In the meantime, I'm amazed that God uses me in this world as a vessel for His Kingdom plans.

A person who is drowning can panic and fight the one who is attempting to rescue him. Jesus is our hope of rescue and ...He is trustworthy.

I'm so thankful that I can quit fighting and make the choice to submit my life to Him and then He can work in and through me ...to reach others.

Isn't that an awesome privilege to be used by God for His purposes?

  6. Yes, I am so thankful that "my anchor holds to the Solid Rock."
    There is a song that says, "In times like these, you need a Savior, in times like these you need an anchor...." We are difinitely living in "times like these.." We don't have to wait for the rescue team.....He's already here. All we need to do is grab hold.
    Thanks for reminding us to think on these things.
    Love you.

  17. Oh...I meant to say...you mentioned the rainbow after the rain when you were in Maui... that's one of the special things I noticed on the Big Island...some where, at some time, there seemed to always be a rainbow whenever I would think to look for one...

    No where else have I seen so many rainbows...
    In Hilo, on the Big Island, where my husband grew up, it's considered the wetter side, while Kona's the drier side of the island... so that could be the reason why...there was always some rain...sometimes long, but often just a short shower and then the sun would be back out shining a sparkle over the fresh, rain-covered greenery.
