The first of many

OK ok ok...... after years of people telling me that I should blog here it is! In the last month several people have e-mailed me saying please start blogging and telling me to get started!

My blog is called 'From Head To Heart' reason being that I was brought up with loads of solid teaching and my head knowledge was all good....... now I am learning more and more that all that head knowledge needs to get into my heart - let God melt my heart afresh with His grace.

I am one of these people who likes to get things sorted in my head and I like to know what I need to do if you know what I mean - am in the process of learning that actually God's grace in some senses just doesn't make sense! I mean think about it for a moment - we mere humans deserve absolutely NOTHING, we are in fact only deserving of eternal damnation - but the King of Kings, the Creator, sustainer and ruler of the Universe loved us so much and saw what we deserved, so He made a way for us to be forgiven, restored and able to have a relationship with Him - yep you read right - the One who reigns on high, the totally awesome God has actually made it possible not only for us to be saved but to have a relationship with Him! WOW!
As far as the need to know what to do - only last week my pastor reminded me that there is in fact absolutely nothing that I can do to alter, add to or anything to God's grace - I just need to receive it! Now try getting your head round that!

Anyway this is my first post and if I remember or really work this out - there may be more!
