Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.

While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.

Jesus has done everything for you.

Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.

An identity based in the one-way love of God does not take into account public opinion or, thankfully, even personal opinion.

The smaller you get-the smaller life makes you-the easier it is to see the grandeur of grace. While I am far more incapable than I may have initially thought, God is infinitely more capable than I ever hoped.

Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it
