To Be Alive Is To Be Broken;

When We Wallow In Guilt, Remorse, And Shame Over Real Or Imagined Sins Of The Past, We Are Disdaining God's Gift Of Grace.

Faithfulness Requires The Courage To Risk Everything On Jesus, The Willingness To Keep Growing, And The Readiness To Risk Failure Throughout Our Lives.

Won't The Awareness God Loves Us No Matter What Lead To Spiritual Laziness And Moral Laxity? Theoretically, This Seems A Reasonable Fear, But In Reality The Opposite Is True. . . . The More Rooted We Are In The Love Of God, The More Generously We Will Live Our Faith.

Whatever We Have Done In The Past, Be It Good Or Evil, Great Or Small, Is Irrelevant To Our Stance Before God Today. It Is Only Now That We Are In The Presence Of God.

God Is Loving Us - You And Me - This Moment, Just As We Are And Not As We Should Be.
