It's time for another reveal...not only for a tea cup exchange but a mug exchange as well! I had participated in one last year and I loved it! (If you want to see what I received for that one,
I received this package from Delvalina at Falling in Love with Jesus. The tea cup looks so sweet and delicate. I'm sure it will be used frequently to enjoy a nice cup of soothing tea. I absolutely love the tea towel. It's decorated with lyrics from the well-loved hymn, "Amazing Grace" by John Newton. The color and the design on it is beautiful!
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
These classic lyrics abound with timeless truths of the amazing grace of our God. We all have been born into a sinful human nature. We're utter wretches...but in Christ we can be made new. To the believer, the song rings true the words, "I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see." Are you still "lost"? Are you still "blind"? Repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ! God alone is able to declare you "found"! God alone is able to help you "see"!
God, in His holiness, will only allow perfection in His very near presence (Revelation 21:27), therefore, we would only be able to dwell with Him if we were perfect. As you know if you look around you, we simply cannot meet this standard. That's why He sent His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life on our behalf. Through His tortuous death and glorious resurrection, the believer's wickedness is put into His account as His perfection is put into the believer's account. On the cross God the Father saw His Son as wicked so He forsook Him and poured out His holy wrath on Him because sin must be punished. And He now sees us as perfect so we are able to enter His presence with indescribable joy. This can only be accomplished through the work of Christ and not by anything we do. No amount of tradition, sacraments, or good works will get us closer to heaven - it is only by the blood of the Savior. It's by the sheer grace of God that we can be saved! What amazing grace!!

Mug Reveal
This package was sent to me from Hannah at Radical Femininity. The mug, which I was excited to try the maple cinnamon coffee out of, has the word "sing" on it to always remind me to sing praises to our God. "O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation" (Psalm 95:1). He is always worthy of our praise and adoration! The paper pad with owls on it is so cute! And I love the Lilla Rose hair accessory! It's gorgeous!
