GRACE
Grace brings out the best and the worst in us. It heals the busted, beat up, and broken. But grace also illuminates our darkness called judgment.
She is messy, complicated, mysterious, and can bring freedom or slavery. I’ve wrestled with her my whole life. First I’ve battled with forgiving myself for my own screw-ups. I’ve fought grace when others have cut me deeply. Either way I believe forgiveness is making me better. She is forcing me to be who I am and letting others do the same.
I’m finally learning that a second chance is one of God’s most beautiful creations.
