Grace comes free of charge to people who do not deserve it and I am one of those people... Now I am trying in my own small way to pipe the tune of grace. I do so because I know, more surely than I know anything, that any pang of healing or forgiveness or goodness I have ever felt comes solely from the grace of God.

Often, it seems, we're [Christians] perceived more as guilt dispensers than as grace dispensers.

Grace is a free gift of God, but to receive a gift you must have open hands.

We, Jesus' followers, are the agents assigned to carry out God's will on earth. Too easily we expect God to do something for us when instead God wants to do it through us.

Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love.

God does not seem impressed by size or power or wealth. Faith is what he wants, and the heroes who emerge are heroes of faith, not strength or wealth.

The presence of another caring person doubles the amount of pain a person can endure.
