I am daily astounded by grace. And the more I think about it, the more intricate it becomes. From the outside, grace is beautiful. Someone covered by grace is seen in God's eyes as perfect and flawless. Now, I may be thinking about this backwards...but this seems to make sense to me. Grace covers every wrong thing we've done. And as we continue doing wrong everyday, grace covers that too. So, grace is increasing every time we do wrong. So, does someone that does a lot of wrong have more grace than someone that does very little wrong. Meaning, someone that makes countless mistakes and lives a horrible life is more graceful than someone that tries to live a perfect life... However, I don't believe God is not in the quantitative business; keeping track of our every mistake. You are either His or not His. But enough about flipping grace around...
It's funny, but this talk of grace reminds me of my little sister. When she was younger, she would trip and fall down all the time. Even when she got older she was a bit clumsy. And to be funny, every time she would fall down, my dad would call her Miss Grace...which is ironic since she was anything but graceful...
I seem to get more graceful everyday...and I don't mean in a good way... And hear me out, I in no way endorse doing wrong only for grace to abound...I don't believe that's the point of it...if anything,
Grace is there for us as we learn to walk...
...and it becomes our name when we fall down...
