The place God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.

Grace

The dictionary defines grace as:

- a noun
1. elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.
2. a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment.
3. favor or good will.

The bible defines grace as:
1. God's free gift.

That's it. We don't deserve it. We definitely have not earned it. But, it's ours. I find this concept incomprehensible. I do not give this belief enough thought or time. What seems a small word is an idea and an offering so great that it actually leaves me speechless.

How do we accept something that rightly shouldn't be ours?

Grace.

Undeserved.

Unconditional.

For Me.

Saving.
