The journey of Grace

It is easy to legislate the avoidance of responsibility that belongs to a message that cries out for our lives to be transformed. It is human nature to find excuses not to care. We are given the choice to walk away from grace even whilst being submerged in it.

Grace cannot be stagnant. It cries out to be unleashed within the hardest of hearts, an act of transformation that can grow into a reassessment of every thought, every opinion, every deed and every relationship.

We are graced to be gracious. It is our choice. Grace lands in our heart propelled by a love that is greater than the universe full of trillions of stars. This grace is free. It is given freely and it is received freely. However choosing to journey towards becoming gracious changes us and it changes the world that we live with. This choice has a cost. It is a journey that has no end, a journey that is marked by frailties and flaws, a journey that requires grace for each step; it is a journey of transformation, an outworking of worship, an expression of love. It is given as freely as it is received.
