The Law of Moses (the old testament) reveals to you where you are going (your spiritual destiny)

But the grace of God gives you the ability to do what you can afford in His seasons as you are going there.

If God was to visit your house, what would you cook for Him for dinner, and if you were to bless the food before eating with God at your dinner table, what prayer would you pray?

Did you know that if God was to pay you a visit, in your home, then this also means He already knows what you are good at cooking, and He also knows what you can afford to do for Him,

I know a guy, who decided to fast and pray for ten days, so that he may stop lying, and through these ten days,

he had said to himself; that he will not tell a lie until he has completed his ten days of fasting, prayer and bible studying.

As he reached in his 5 th day of his fasting, all over sudden, he could not restrain himself any longer, and he found himself being pushed into a corner where he was forced to lie.

Right after that incident, he started to condemn his act and thinking to himself; how bad he is at keeping his promises he makes to God, because he used the law to measure up himself to God’s standards,

but he neglected the grace of God that enables him to do what he can afford through his ability and spiritual strength.

Out of his ten days of restraining himself from lying, he managed to do five days without a single lie passing through his mouth, something that he has never done before,

and instead of complimenting, celebrating and rejoicing for what he was able to do, he decided to condemn and criticize himself because of what he was not able to do.

Remember that; for you to be able to do better in life, and have a successful relationship with God, does not depend on how good, how spiritual you think you are, or how much you condemn or criticize yourself or others,

but it depends on how much you compliment and appreciate what has been done, no matter how small it may seem to be,

because compliments builds up the inner confidence within peoples lives, and the inner confidence makes people to obtain a mindset of a winner, and it also eliminates the fear of failure.
