Collateral Grace

by

“Here’s to the men and women who teach us grace, sometimes through the Word, more often through the life. Here’s to the great forgivers who live and act in the forgiving embrace of Jesus. Here’s to the ones who choose peace when they have been mistreated, who build bridges out of sticks and string and anything that can bear the weight of another broken person. Here’s to the tenacious believers who will not let us go because the Lord has not let them go. Here’s to the ones who ‘get it.’ Pray for these gracious souls, for you are deeply invested in their spiritual welfare. And stay in grace.”
