grace

To know that grace is enough and to profess it in our personal theological beliefs is one thing -- to LET grace be enough is a whole different realm.

To LET my efforts simultaneously be lifted and dissolved by grace is difficult.

However, when reminded that this concept of grace is all that I had left to save me, it brings me back with my face planted deep under the ground. Humility strikes the heart like a pounding hammer, and reminds me of the depths that I have been freed from.

It's the moments when we do let grace be enough -- that's when the gospel really shines. That's when what and who we are mean less, and what and who we worship become meaningful. And lastly, it's easier to let grace be enough, when we more fully understand how much 'grace' (if it can be at all quantified) was needed to bring forth salvation in our lives.
