Trying and Loving

 "Somebody loving you is grace.  Loving somebody is grace.  Have you ever tried to love somebody?"

Fredrick Buechner said this, asked this.  Trying to love someone is not grace, it is effort.  And, our efforts often fail.  Love by grace, and accept love by grace...it's the only way.  It's a communion of grace not effort.

My Morning Mantra

  

Nothing but love.

 

Everything forgiven.

 

Filled with the Holy Spirit.

 

Devoid of deceit.

 

Saturated with grace.

 

Grounded in the Word.

 

Empowered by faith.

 

Always with hope.

 

Counting it all joy.

 

Giving thanks in all things.

 

In endless prayer.

 

All to God’s glory.
