Happy Sunday! Water cutting through rock, changing it gradually is a natural occurrence that is beautiful and really quite amazing. I mean, it is ROCK--solid, tough, hard, and something we think of as unchanging. Grace, God's unmerited favor, changes us. Grace is God saying, "You are my favorite. I love you and I want to be closer to you, to strengthen you, to help you." Grace is NOT about making us feel horrible and guilty, it doesn't point a finger. God doesn't give us grace so he can use us. Grace allows us to have a relationship with Jesus, to walk and "hang out" with him. I am grateful that as I get closer to God and spend more time with him, his grace strengthens and changes me bit by bit .
