Grace does not redefine wrong as right, but it
does redefine sinners as righteous. Grace does not remove the law, but
stoops down to carry the weight of it on our behalf. Grace looks kindly
upon our weaknesses and strengthens us to do what we cannot do on our
own. Grace does not remove every consequence for bad choices yet it does
not withhold blessing in the face of imperfection. Grace is more
interested in blessing us for any good reason rather than cursing us when
we miss the mark. Grace says that we are worth being loved even though
we've done nothing to earn it. Changing does not make us deserving of Grace, rather Grace deems us worthy of change and lovingly disciplines
us to bring that change about. Grace is sometimes willing to allow us to
suffer for our greatest good. Grace is sober-minded and does not
sugarcoat our existence but speaks the truth in love. Grace is more
interested in our eternal joy rather than our temporary comfort or
gratification.
Grace wants me more than I want Grace.
