Very basic Christian truths:

If you could earn grace, it wouldn’t be grace.

If you could supplement grace by works, it wouldn’t be grace.

If you could manipulate grace, it wouldn’t be grace.

If you could lose grace, it wouldn’t be grace.

Amazing news: God’s grace is REAL.

Christ is with you in your uncertainty.

Christ is with you in your turmoil.

Christ is with you in your groanings too deep for words.

Christ is with you as you heal, slowly.

The cross of Christ is where you go to see the love of God: it is costly love, propitiatory love, persevering love, painful love, eternity-securing love, cleansing love, love beyond limit or human comprehension.

The Christian celebrates the opposite of “Pride Month”: we celebrate humility, grace, the lavish kindness of God, mercy to miserable sinners like us.

We live in gratitude, not pride.
