from B. Stewart
"Dear timone,
May God's Grace continue to shine upon you."
Forget trying to be worthy of God's Grace. Forget trying to earn God's Grace. We are neither worthy nor can we earn it. That's what makes God so amazing--GRACE freely given to us no matter what we've done or what we haven't done.
But here is the rub, accepting God's Grace. For much of my life, I struggled to accept what God so freely gave to me. I kept turning my back, refusing to allow God in. In my confusion and chaos I closed God out, so set against anything good. Don't get me wrong, I did want good. I longed for joy. But in the fog of the enemy I kept turning in circles thinking I was moving forward.
Then one day, too exhausted, I clearly heard God speak to me. She was calling me out of my chaos. Finally, I let go of my way and took His hand.
Now, it's not about what God will do, it's about me keeping my face turned toward God's Grace shining upon me.
Peacefulness
