Lovin' grace.

One of the greatest things about messing up (did you even know there was anything great about messing up? And by the way I'll call it "messing up" only because it sounds more gentle than "sin" which of course is what it is) - anyhow - one of the greatest things about messing up has got to be - and yes, unfortunately I had to witness this first hand this week - has got to be how great is the grace of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good... (Romans 8:28) - but He wouldn't have to work all things for the good if we were already working the good ourselves, would He? It is only because our good doesn't always work, that He has to work all things for the good himself. And in His grace (yes, we'll call it amazing grace) He often works things even better than what our good - which we didn't do anyway - would have done on its own. I love grace!
