Because we have what Sarah Young calls, Transforming Grace...
No circumstance is wasted.
There are no coincidences or accidents.
Bad situations are soon discovered as disguised blessings.
Hopelessness dares to dream again.
Confusion meets its match in clarity.
Regrets reveal themselves as unique puzzle pieces critical to our completion.
Analyzers surrender to the One who never has to ask, why?
And nothing is random.
Grace is something that you, me, and that person you think is perfect don't deserve. My complete revelation in my Christian walk came when I discovered that there's no 'good version' of myself good enough to make it to heaven on my own.
CAPTIVITY is thinking that we should have to perform perfectly in order to get the greatest gift of all.
FREEDOM is knowing that our broken, heartless, and ugly selves are beautiful in the eyes of the gift giver.
He knows us inside and out and CARES about the details in our lives. So let's care about Him enough to trust Him today.
Love to you :)
Kristin!
