Grace

We are studying 'grace' in our Weds. Night Bible Study from a book called "Grace Walk". On the side I'm also reading Philip Yancey's - What's So Amazing about Grace? I recommend both books highly.

From Yancey's book:

Accepting and believing in God's grace and unconditional love is the key to:
mental health
emotional health
spiritual growth

Once we've acepted Christ as our savior - God sees us through rose-colored lenses!

Believe it, beloved.

Stop beating yourself up. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more

and

There is nothing you can do to make God love you less. Satan's lie is that we must perform in a certain way to be worthy of God's love. There is nothing we can do to be worthy.

We can only believe!

We love conditionally. As long as people please us we love them.

Try to think like God.

He loves unconditionally, continually and continuously.

For inquiring minds: FH can be 'favorite husband', 'first husband', or 'fishhead' - depending upon the day and the hour!
