Why Grace Comes First
by

Anxiety will fade as we embrace the fundamental kindness of our Lord—a love both masterful and calm. He Who “holds all things together” (Col 1:17) offers us His grace in a covenant of quiet . There is a blessed sequence to His gifts: “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 2:7). So start—and stay—in grace.
