I've been on this weird journey of Grace lately. Several things have been roadmarks for me along the way. The great little book by andy stanley "how good is good enough", John Mark McMillan's song "How He Loves" and of course my own brokenness (borkenness...). I don't know that I would have ever said it before but I think I've lived most of my life pursuing grace...like it's just around the corner and if I just do (insert whatever the cause of the day may be) then I'll catch it (read deserve it). Pretty stupid... There's an amazing freedom and motivation just on the other side of realizing that God knows me, I mean really knows me, and loves me anyway.
-All have sinned and fallen short...

-There is now no condemnation...
-For God so loved...
-If God is for us...
-It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort...
-It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort...
-It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort...
-But we have this treasure in jars of clay...
...and you and I are invited to work with Him to change the world.
Basic truths that the rest of the world grasps as easily as "pull tab to open" sometimes hit me like a mack truck.
