What Runs Behind YOU? Depends on What Runs in Front of YOU?

Are you being chased? Or are you chasing something? 

Scripture says Goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Ps 23:6
What needs to run in front of us for goodness and mercy to follow? 

LOVE and GRACE 

Love and Grace meet us every morning
 Love 
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 
I jn4:8 

If love runs in front of you. 
You find yourself seeing with Jesus' eyes. You get creative ideas. You limit yourself in saying, doing or expressing something that is not filled with love. 

When love runs in front of us we start seeing more of what the Father has planned --- good works prepared in advance. Eph 2:10 



GRACE 
Unmerited favor with the power to transform us into the substance of the love of God in Jesus Christ. 

Salvation in and through us by Jesus Christ in and through all things. 

GRACE is the spark that lights the fires of the Holy Spirit in people, tribes, nations. 











The BIG OPEN Skies 

of LOVE 

and GRACE 

are 

FREEDOM

JOY

PEACE

in JESUS

















For GRACE and LOVE to walk in front we cannot invite these guys along. 

1. Judgement - It is not a skill it's a curse. 

2. A critical spirit is sours everything in front of us. 

3. Condemnation is agreeing with the Devil's view of the world, people and God's work. 

4. Guilt -  Why feel guilty?  Repent and be forgiven.  I John 2:1

5. Shame - Jesus took all our shame on the cross.  Let go and live. 




 What is said to run in front.....??? 



LOVE is the greatest power in the universe  - LOVE rooted in Christ Jesus. 
Love establishes us in his grace and glory. Eph 3:17-23 



LOVE covers a multitude of sins.  
Grace is always enough.  
Grace overcomes the depths of the world's failures



The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe. Prov 18:10


What runs behind you when love runs in front? 

Goodness and Mercy 

MERCY "Mercy triumphs over judgement." 
If you want to have goodness follow you then be like God and let mercy be in front of you. That means you know what someone is but you bestow on them their heavenly identity not their earthly failures.  The world places judgement in front, calls it a skill and glories in the ability to tear people down. Mercy offers hope when we are down.  Mercy actually sees the justice due and extends a second change and grace for change.  Mercy is supreme over Judgement.

GOODNESS  Eph 5:1
God is Good.  We say, "all the time".  And that is true. 
Everything God does is for our good.  He is forming Jesus in us.  
That means eternal life is forming in us through faith in Jesus. 
Goodness abides with God.
Goodness is tastety and lovely.
God is Good.
When love and grace run out in front....
God's goodness is sure to follow in abundance. 


Goodness and Mercy follow LOVE and GRACE on the holy highway - Isaiah 35



We can run on these roads all the days of our lives....

Never exhausting 
the LOVE 
or 
the GRACE 
of God.
