The Lifeline of Grace

Without your grace, I have no hope because my flesh would focus on all the negative things, the challenges, the things that seem impossible. 

Without your grace, I couldn't love well for my flesh wants to focus on me and if I am being loved well. 

Without your grace, I would struggle to forgive myself, the times I fail every day to live up to my expectations, others expectations and certainly your hopes for me. 

Without your grace, I would struggle to forgive others, for their wrongdoings, for their humanness. 

Without your grace, my children would see more of my flesh than they already do. 

Your gospel is Grace. Your good news is Grace. Your gift is grace. We don't have to earn it. We don't have to work for it. It is simply ours to receive.

Thank you for loving me in all my unloveliness. I. Am. So. Grateful.
