His grace is sufficient enough. Thank you, Lord, for the unmerited favor you have given us. Amen

Applying the Book of Titus to our lives today means letting the grace of God transform our daily relationships, behavior and character so that our actions match what we believe.

I am even more inspired to keep striving to do His will.

The creator desires a relationship with humanity and when sin entered the world through the first Adam, it severed the relationship and put enmity and isolation between man and God.

Humility plays a big part in returning back to Christ and recognizing we have a home waiting upon our return.

The Fruit of the Spirit is one fruit with nine traits (Gen 5: 22-23). Also, developing a genuine connection with the true vine (John 15: 1-7) helps us in many ways. Our connection must not be faulty or superficial. As we abide in Him, He will abide in us letting the Holy Spirit guide us in every aspect of our lives and relationships with others.

I agree we must get away from the noise to hear God clearly. God welcomes us in His presence, and I certainly welcome God in my presence. It is a blessing to be in the presence of the Lord.
