Quotes about Grace

God loves you so much that he's searching the wild, dark night to save you. He's moving all his furniture and tearing up the carpet simply to reach you.

When I ask God to change my actions, that honesty about my own inconsistent behaviors forces me not to be so hard on other believers.
