GOD'S GENEROUS GRACE

Sometimes we can be stubborn people. Sometimes it takes us longer than it should to run to the Lord to ask forgiveness. And the funny thing is ... It happens repeatedly. Human nature is indeed a strange thing. God's Grace is the most marvelous thing we know of, yet at times we wait until we are broken from our sin ... Until our hearts are totally rent from it, before we hand it (our heart) over to our Father. Sometimes we procrastinate turning to the Lord because of PRIDE or habit or even ignorance. Explain? Okay ... In some peculiar way, we think we can make it right or reverse things to erase (?) sin or lessen the offense. It's okay to admit it. Everybody knows.

We know God's capability to forgive us far outweighs what we can imagine ...

Psalms 103:12

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

... and we know that any consequence we experience in terms of chastening for what we have done is for our own good, so that we will learn and strengthen our resistance to sinning again. In fact, The Lord is just and righteous for chastening us. This SHOULD encourage us to confide in Him more and SOONER ... In fact it should DRIVE us to Him.

Proverbs 3:11-12

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Revelation 3:19

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Fortunately for us, the Lord is slow to anger ... But we do sometimes challenge His patience, for which we should RUN to His loving arms and repent as quickly as possible whenever we come to the realization of a sin we have committed because He wants things to be right between Himself and His children ... So much so, that He sacrificed His precious Son.

Don't deprive yourself of the freedom and love that you can be living in by bearing your heart to your Father. It only takes three words of SINCERITY to mend a heart that is rent from any sin ... "Father, forgive me."



Chicken Fajitas Recipe

For the chicken:
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 to 3)

For the fajitas:
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large white or yellow onion
2 medium red bell peppers
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 medium lime
Kosher salt

Serving options:
12 to 16 small flour tortillas
Romaine or iceberg lettuce
Guacamole
Sour cream
Pico de gallo
Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, or Mexican blend cheese

Instructions:

  • Place chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly with the seasonings.
  • Prepare the toppings and tortillas: Warm 12 to 16 small flour tortillas one at a time by holding them directly over a medium flame on a gas stove, or in a skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until charred in spots and pliable. Stack and wrap in a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep warm. Cut romaine or iceberg lettuce into fine shreds.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook until blackened in spots and cooked through (an internal temperature of at least 165ºF), 7 to 10 minutes per side. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
  • Halve and cut onion into ¼ inch slices (about 2 cups). Trim and cut red bell peppers and green bell peppers into ¼ inch slices (about 4 ½ cups total). Trim and thinly slice jalapeno pepper crosswise if desired. Halve the lime; cut one half into wedges and reserve for serving.
  • When the chicken is ready, transfer to a clean cutting board. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion, and peppers (including jalapeno) to the pan. Season lightly with kosher salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and browned in spots, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Slice the chicken breasts crosswise into ¼ inch pieces and add to the skillet. Squeeze the lime half over the fajita mixture and toss to combine. Serve in flour tortillas with the reserved lime wedges and desired toppings.
