Does "grace" mean a passive life?

Just let go and let God...right? Well kinda sorta. What that does NOT mean is a life of passivity! The "exchanged-life" or a life of grace can be very active...the difference?...activity does not define our life, Christ does. A life of grace is filled with all kinds of activities, choices, etc. where we place our full trust and dependence on Christ through the person of the Holy Spirit to not only energize and strengthen us, but actually perform through us His will and purpose. We move, choose, play and do trusting that the very life of Christ is working in and through us IN these very activities. We don't sit back and wait on God to physically carry our bodies...we go about our daily activity believing that He is the one performing...it's His strength...His resources...His Life.

So, "let go and let God" but get moving. Living by grace means I do not have to worry so much about results, my focus is on the process...i.e. my focus is on Christ as my Source and believing that He is actually working His will through me. How freeing...enjoy where you are and what you're doing cause it's His performance. The saying is so true, "it's not if you win or lose, it's how you play the game"...are you striving to perform or are you trusting Christ to perform through you. Winning or losing is not the point...how are you playing?

(Col 1:29 NASB) And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.
