grace

Grace is shockingly personal. As Henri Nouwen points out, 'God rejoices. Not because the problems of the world have been solved, not because all human pain and suffering have come to an end, nor because thousands of people have been converted and are now praising him for his goodness. No, God rejoices because one of his children who was lost has been found.

We were miles away from our real lives.

We are, without doubt, broken people living with other broken people in a broken world.

It is not the balance in your check book that makes life count. It is the investment one makes in the lives of others.

Experiencing something of the grace of God should always cause our self-perceived ideas about 'Who He is' and 'How He works' to pop.

May God continue to give you much more grace for every great deed.

Jesus came to give his righteousness not to condemn the unrighteous.

All can be done if the god-touch is there

True respect comes when we fend for ourselves without the aid of anyone, and when we owned something and say, 'this is my own'! Not necessarily as a way of boasting of our abundance and grace, but having a feeling that we can use it without obstruction, or being asked to return the favor.

So then, let "Deserved" be written on the door of hell, but on the door of Heaven and life, "The free gift" (68).

Life challenges are real. You can overcome each challenge by grace.

Your imperfections make you the perfect tool for God to work with. John 3:16

The amazing, whole, overwhelming, abundant life is found, oddly, by letting go. By living a dangerous faith--the kind of faith that believes in a God who knows our hearts and loves us enough to take our breath away.

The fragility of human emotions are not to be trusted but to validate the necessity of Grace.

I have experience near-death many times but a divine power saved me.

What you will encounter is 'grace unmeasured, vast and free' --the kind that will frighten and free you at the same time. That's what grace does, after all.

We write or we are written upon. The whole of our lives is the clumsy attempt to wield the pen with grace.

The sacred souls are saved by grace.
