Shalom! Welcome to episode 15 of Overcoming Daily with Anna Johnson.
The overcomer tidbit for today is, the overcomer embraces grace. Yes. Let me repeat that. The overcomer embraces grace. Now I know that this sounds like a simple concept for a believer.
However, what I've discovered in coaching believers is that many believers are failing to embrace grace. And without grace, there is no overcoming. Embracing grace means to embrace Christ and the salvation made available to us. Now before you say, "well, I don't need to listen to this podcast because I indeed am embracing grace", let me ask you a few questions.
Do you try to do things from your own strength and from your own might? Are you critical of yourself and the mistakes that you make? Do you ever question your salvation and hate yourself because you fall short? Do you let your stumbling define your mood or your future? A matter of fact, do you let your stumbling define whether you are a child of God or not?
Many of my coaching clients wrestle with embracing grace. They often feel guilty when they make a mistake. But grace is available to us, because we need it. There's no overcoming without grace. We can not expect to run a spiritual race and receive the prize, without grace. We're going to need that grace in order to receive the prize.
Now, I'm not suggesting that we abuse grace. But we certainly need to embrace it and utilize it on our journey here on earth as we walk out and wrestle out our salvation with reverence. We should honor the grace made available to us and certainly not refuse to use it when we need it.
