As humans, we are full of contradictions. We want God, but on our own terms. The message of grace is this: You cannot earn the blessings of God. Nor will those blessings be exchanged for curses if you make a single mistake. God is gracious to you, not because of your character, but because of God’s character: our Heavenly Father is gracious. The story we all need to hear is how, even when we endure the hardships and sufferings of this life, our Jesus will sustain us…provide for us…resurrect us. Don’t share with your family member your resume of success. Share the story of how you were attempting to earn it all and it crushed you, how the grace of Jesus saved you, and how your faith in Jesus and the prayers of your friends helped you get back up.
