Grace is what someone gives us out of the goodness of his heart, not out of the perfection of ours. When a gift comes wrapped in grace, it comes with no strings attached. That's the kind if gift God gives. He doesn't hold eternal life just out of reach, taunting, "If you try harder, this can be yours." He doesn't promise to love us if we never mess up again. He doesn't say He'll forgive, but refuse to forget. God graces us with gifts we don't deserve, because His love is deeper than our hearts and minds can comprehend.
We can say, "God is great" until we're blue in the face, yet the reality of our words eludes comprehension. God's greatness exceeds our capacity even to begin to understand it. It's a little like the brightness of the sun. I know the sun is very bright. But I can't even begin to look at the sun because its luminescence far exceeds the limitations of my sight.
"God is good to one and all; everything He does is suffused with grace." - Psalm 145:9
Isn't it good to know that even when we don't love with a perfect love, God does?
Blessings,
