It's when we come to the end of ourselves that we come to the beginning of grace.

The great hope we find in the Christian faith is that God is not us.

Because Jesus paid it all, we are free from the need to do it all. Our identity, worth, and value, are not anchored in what we can accomplish but in what Jesus accomplished for us.

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be. It is the message of grace.~Quote by Brennan Manning

God attaches no strings to His love. None. His love for us does not depend on our loveliness. It goes one way. As far as our sin may extend, the grace of our Father extends further.

The only 'if' the Gospel knows is this: 'if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' (1 John 2:1)

What you will encounter is 'grace unmeasured, vast and free' --the kind that will frighten and free you at the same time. That's what grace does, after all.

Freedom without order leads to chaos. We must have order around our freedom. It is God’s Word that sets the boundaries for our freedom.

If life was a piano light and darkness would be the keys. And shadows would be the melody that creates the harmony.

Fear ends where love begins.

Distance may be the segregator but our thoughts and dreams are what keep us together.

It makes me happy to encounter goodness, love of work, humane intelligence, and people no matter at what kind of job, be it ever so humble, or ever so exalted, who do it well and con amore.

There is no bad weather, just soft runners.

Personally, I prefer the dark side.

I just like to walk around New York, just put my iPod on and walk around.

I wanted to be a world champion.

If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
