It is amazing how dependence brings you right to the throne of grace. When you are unable to figure it out, to get out of your own way or find a way, you come to the One who is the way. Grace is undeserved favor. It’s mercy and God grants it freely. How long will it take me to catch on?

grace: Where we get what we really don't deserve. mercy: Where we don't get what we really do deserve.

It is my prayer that some day I will cease to let my circumstances rule me (how well they can control me - oh so effectively) and that I might get in tuned naturally with the God I seek to serve. The benefits would be tremendous – less stress leading to better health, better attitude, improved perspective, peace of mind, confidence, reassurance…think Psalm 23 and that old valley of the shadow of death! If only I could grasp the BIG picture instead starring in my own little melodrama. I’m working on it by the grace of God. I’m working on it.
