Mantle Monday - 03 02 26

Happy Monday, gentlemen! Let’s continue to lead and love well. First, we must know how much God loves us. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬ If you hear nothing else this week, remember that God loves you so much he sent his one and only Son to die on the cross for your sins, while you were still a sinner. He loves you that much. He wants a personal relationship with you that much. Jesus sets us free. If you’re still trying to do it on your own, it was never designed to be that way. Accept the free gift of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Come to him just as you are. Make him Lord and Savior of your life. There’s nothing you have done that separates you from the love of Jesus. There’s no good works that you can do to earn his love, because it’s a free gift. His grace is so deep and wide that it’s hard to humanly fathom. Keep showing up. Keep loving well. Keep striving to draw closer to Jesus. I’m proud of you, men. You are loved. Challenge: Spend 5 minutes of quiet time with the Lord this week. Work to build on that. Song: It Really Is Amazing Grace - Phil Wickham, Crowder
