Saved by Grace, Called by God

Saved by Grace, Called by God





Where else to begin but at the start?


How cliched to say I grew up in a "Christian" house hold. So many people say they are "Christian" but they don't live the way Jesus wants them to. Its all religion, but that's where my story is different. My parents where authentic Christians. They showed me from a young age what it meant to be a real christian, one that loves like Jesus loves.

It was 2004 and my mother was diagnosed with cancer, so what did we do? Cry about it and wonder when she would die? No. We made the best of the time that we had with her and trusted God for a miracle. What better way to live than go on a road trip in a motor home? Still the thought of my mother passing away lingered in my head. Only being 5 at the time, you're not meant to have those kind of thoughts in your head. But nevertheless we made the most of the situation.

I remember that on the way back from the Cango Caves(a tourist attraction in Oudtshoorn, South Africa) that i asked my parents to pray with me so that i could give my life to Jesus. Ever since that day I know that I know that i am saved by grace.

Funny how life tries to throw you off the narrow path, but no matter how hard is tries when you are born again you have an anchor that will hold you tight. God is my anchor.

So for this post i'll be looking at Psalm 16 and digging into it searching for aspects of God that I may have forgotten or not have considered. Psalm 16 English Standard Version (ESV) You Will Not Abandon My Soul 16  Preserve me, O God, for in you I  take refuge. 2  I say to the  Lord , “You are my Lord;      I have no good apart from you.” 3  As for  the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,      in whom is all my delight. 4  The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;      the...
