So memorably put: “Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning.” Jesus has freely given us everything; we can't earn a thing. But God loves our efforts for love and the Kingdom. Amen!
God’s grace is throughout the Bible. This Proverb 3:35 tells us we need to be humble to receive it. “Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” NKJV As Pastor John so clearly wrote, we need to humble ourselves by realizing we can’t do anything good on our own. Rather we need to repeatedly offer ourselves to God. Then He gives more grace.
John, one of the qualities I love most about you is your vulnerability in opening yourself to us. There are no walls. What we see is who you truly are. You are vulnerable before us and it allows us to be vulnerable with you and each other as well. What a gift! 🙏🏻♥️
Lord we set aside our lives to be consecrated unto you. Let e every ounce of our remaining days bring endless glory to Your name. Much love, Bill and Desta Graham

Agreeing with you in prayer and thanks unto the Lord for His grace.
