There is a God of awesome grace who meets his children in moments of darkness and difficulty. He is worth running to. He is worth waiting for. He brings rest when it seems like there is no rest to be found.

There is nothing that could be revealed about a pastor that has not already been covered by the blood of Jesus

How can you admit that your only hope is divine grace and then throw condemnation at another sinner when you see them struggle?

When Christ is my hope, he becomes the one thing in which I have confidence. I act on his wisdom and bank on his grace. I trust his promises and I rely on his presence. And I pursue all the good things that he has promised me simply because I trust him. So, I am not manipulating, controlling, or threatening my way through life to get what I want, because I have found what I want in Christ. He is my hope.

God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.

Do you require yourself to remember? In order to live as you can and should, you first must remember who you are and what you’ve been given.

God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.
