THE GIFT OF GRACE
by
We dream of grace the way a child dreams of birthdays, imagining that once a year God might be as good as Scripture says He is.
And then to learn that God is good on every day; that Jesus is unimaginably and unchangeably kind; that He forgives our sins without resenting us, and embraces us as though we had given Him some great gift—this fills our mouths with holy laughter and all our days with deep amazement. It is not what we expected: it is not what we deserve.
We are the “gifted” ones—the blessed—on every day, in every way.
Stay in grace—
