What does "Found Grace" mean?

Found: means to discover or obtain something.  Grace: means to show favor towards something.

So, Found Grace means to obtain favor.

Throughout the Bible when God shows grace to people, it's when they can no longer do something on their own or by their power. God showed grace to mankind by sending His Son to die for a sin debt that we could not pay for. He showed grace to Noah by saving his family from a flood. And He shows grace to us every day by letting us wake up in the morning!

And we can have "Found Grace" to make it through life! Even if it's one step at a time!

Who can have "Found Grace" in the eye of Jesus?

Anybody! Anyone who is humbling seeking God, trying to live for Him. Even if it means little by little. 

To obtain"Found Grace"

What are the tools to move on and live joyfully?

There are many things that we are told to do to move on from abuse, or hurt. But, no one really explains how to use them or put them into practice.

Here, I will share what has helped me move on and heal from the hurt. It is easy? Absolutely not, but in the end, it will be such a blessing to you! 

I went from being angry and bitter all the time, and wishing I could go back and change where I came from. I was embarrassed by my past, even though I couldn't control it. I was angry at the people who hurt me and even though I said I had forgiven them, deep down I still held on to what they did. I was living in the past, relating everything from the hurt of my past with the people who were trying to help me and then I became bitter towards them, even though they hadn't hurt me, but in my mind they were doing the same thing.

But, then one day while I was in church my Pastor was going through the life of Joseph in the Bible, and He made the comment that Joseph had no idea why he went through what he did, but he still chose to live for God even after he had been mistreated by his family. He said that Joseph didn't dwell in his past, he moved on. And when he said that in that moment I realized that I had been living in the past... I was using my pain as an excuse to be angry and bitter.

At that moment I decided I didn't want to continue down that path, because I was not only hurting myself but I was also hurting those around me. I did not want to become the person who had hurt me, I wanted to change the cycle! 

Since, then I have given all that hurt to Jesus, and it has changed my perspective so much! I have such joy and overwhelming blessings! God has used my hurt for good, to help others through their hurt! And today, I wouldn't change anything that has happened in my life, because God has used it to make me who I am and draw me closer to Him! I am thankful for the pain because I know I can overcome it with the grace that is only found through Jesus Christ!
