All the human love we've experienced has been flawed in some way. But not God's; his love is perfect and perfectly steadfast forever. It is the single most stunning reality in the life of a believer.

We all need to be reminded again and again of what God has declared are the most important things in life.

God's saving grace ignites in the hearts of all his children a radical shift in ambition. Where once our thoughts, desires, words, and actions were motivated and directed by our ambition to achieve our definition of personal happiness, by grace they are now shaped by our ambition for the kingdom of God to achieve all God has designed for it to achieve. Where once we were ambitious for what we want, we now are ambitious to do the will of God.

So in grace, God has designed us to regularly gather together and remember the things that are worth living for.

You don't have to worry about whether your wrongs will be forgiven and your weaknesses greeted with patience and grace. You don't have to worry, because you have a Savior who has invaded your life with his grace and has made you the place where he dwells.

None of us is yet a grace graduate, but we're satisfied. We all give evidence that we still need to grow, but we're satisfied.

The first of these comforts is the stunningly encouraging comfort of God's amazing grace.
