This phrase is buried in my heart. For us to be inspired by this , we first must define what grace is not. Grace is not simply being nice. Grace is not a “well, bless her heart” response to people. Grace is always personal before it goes public. Grace is absolutely unmerited, undeserved, & independent of the shortcomings of the human heart. It is -in no way-a token reward for “being good”. Grace is so lavish & so overwhelming-we often cannot look too deeply into it. It simply doesn’t make sense. Our Best Love doesn’t ask us to understand this one-way love, He asks us to receive it. Once we begin to comprehend the grace given to us, we can offer this choice gift to others. #grace #undeserved#unmeritedfavor #romans6-8 #phillipians2#lovepeople #hereshowtoliveinjoy
