Why are you holding yourself back from accepting universal, generous grace? Have you convinced yourself that you do not deserve it? Are you aware of the fact that you can change that personal decision right now? What else is stopping you from feeling and dancing in grace aside from your own ego? Nothing. I have parts of my past that I am not proud of, but I honestly love how I have grown and improved since then over time. I still struggle to accept grace myself, but I am working on it. It is not easy, but it is worth it.
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
-Oscar Wilde
In an effort to give myself greater grace, I will keep today’s post brief and also take a cycle off. However, no additional break will be taken, meaning the next cycle will pick back up in about four weeks – 051026. Until then, glide gracefully, gladly, and generously, gentlepeople. Genuinely go grinning with God, gaining gumption.
The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.
-C.S. Lewis
Courage is grace under pressure.
-Ernest Hemingway
Everybody can be great… you only need a heart full of grace.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is against the nature of grace, not to be in motion, not to increase in being more holy.
-Hannibal Gammon
Maybe it is wise. Maybe it is dumb. Time will tell.
