Cuddling the Spirit of Grace!

Cuddling the Spirit of Grace

What does the Spirit of grace say? It says man is made to be dependent. Man can only grow and reach his potential by depending on his Creator and those things created for him. Man was not made to be independent. But the subject of his dependence must not be another man who himself should be dependent.
Yes, we help each other, but that can only be through the help we have received first.
We can only be channels of blessings and we can be extremely faithful as channels but we can never be the source. We can only give what we already received of our Creator.

The Spirit of grace teaches us also that the differences we have in our different make ups are deliberate and powerful for the accomplishment of purpose. The one made to be super intelligent is not better than the one made to be at the lower rungs of the intelligence ladder. Same goes for every ladder and perking order we have made for ourselves in our evil bid to create social classes. Each is made and none dictated how he should be made, none made itself too. But none is an accident, each is made for a discoverable reason.

I remember the day 'philae' landed on a comet, some spokesman of the project cynically attributed the accomplishment to the brains and brawn of men and not something that 'fell from the skies'. He forgot that man had only discovered that he exists and hasn't fully discovered yet what prompted his existence through his hi-tech.
Whatever prompted his existence had only coded into him his mental and physical capacity with which he could do whatever he has done and would ever do.

In fact, the program of development and growth of the human race both technologically, in arts and in humanities and in whatever other genre of knowledge that may be has been by the Creator of this system.
He owns His universe and handles the movements. The Power that makes all things exist can not be out of existence, He is still the major player moving things in the resultant direction He desires.

But man has always believed in his personal accomplishment. He loves to be independent. He loves to give the glory and the kudos to himself. He loves to do despite to the Spirit of grace. He loves to give credits to himself even of those things he met here and much more of those things the Spirit of grace did through him. He would even build things he believes whoever the Creator is would frown at, only to prove that he is God. He forgot that the Creator could have deprived him also of the abilities to make independent choices which he in turn uses against his Creator.

What have we that we have not received? How are we really different from each other, when our accomplishments were only what the Creator did through whoever he wills? How do we thumb our chests for what we couldn't have done without the Creator and so rate others as failures for not accomplishing same?
When we do that we do despite to the Spirit of grace. We deliberately reckoned him out of our successes and make ourselves the prime movers of our own development erroneously.

Yes, we may have maximized our given potential and by that better our lots but we must always remember that everything made was made out of things that we cannot see including our destinies and life's opportunities.

If we desire to make more happen, then we must cuddle the Spirit of grace and be faithful to the system that created us in the first place. We must give the glory to Him who made us since we are sure we didn't make ourselves. We must not share His glory or think we did things without Him. We must be thankful.

But if we continue to see our accomplishment as of personal prowess and wisdom, something we deserved and not of God's grace, we risk an eventual head-on-collision with the Judge of all the earth which may be devastating.
No man can receive anything except it is given him from above...May God give us understanding. Good Morning!

[My Offline Bible] Hebrews 10
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

[My Offline Bible] 1 Corinthians 4
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
