I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace.
The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.
Grace is a much more accurate word to use when dealing with the state of human existence. God gives us unmerited favor through Jesus Christ, and since Adam and Eve, our lives have depended on it.
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.
Grace is the absence of everything that indicates pain or difficulty, hesitation or incongruity.
The word 'grace' means after we must have done everything humanly possible, we must leave the issue with God. That is grace.
Grace is a quality in people that I just enjoy. It's a very human quality.
Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.
