#Grace

"We're all screwed up. And the way Christians mess things up is we act like we've got it going on. And if we would just stay in that place of, 'Hey, we're all screwed up and but for the grace of God, none of us have a shot here.' We need to have a sense of humor about it; that's kind of the way I've always faced my comedy."

"Aeschylus writes, "In our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grade of God."

"God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world."

"I'll look to the crossAs my failure is lostIn the light ofYour glorious grace"

"Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you."

"We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions. We need to offer grace to all, because we all need a little grace."

"In honor of Oprah Winfrey: Even greater than the ability to inspire others with hope is the power to motivate them to give as much to the lives of others as they would give to their own; and to empower them to confront the worst in themselves in order to discover and claim the best in themselves."

"Grace saved my life; it can revolutionize yours."

"Un-winged and naked, sorrow surrenders its crown to a throne called grace."

"It's not the law of religion nor the principles of morality that define our highways and pathways to God; only by the Grace of God are we led and drawn, to God. It is His grace that conquers a multitude of flaws and in that grace, there is only favor. Favor is not achieved; favor is received."

"Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces."

"God is writing His story on the pages of our lives."

"The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff."

"The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you."

"Sometimes, the most graceful way to handle something is to be decidedly ungraceful."

"A guilty suffering spirit is more open to grace than an apathetic or smug soul.' - Bread & Wine (day 5)"

"Grace will follow us even when we are going the wrong way"

"All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass."

"Even when muddy your wings sparkle bright wonders that heal broken worlds."

"Make rules and follow rules as needed, but don't focus on riles. Focus on faith. Focus on grace. Focus on Jesus."
