Days of Grace

Life is much more simple now, but no less rich.

As I look Eve sleeping, I think of how powerless she is to feed and live and keep clean without her parents. Love keeps her alive.

And then I see that I am the same in God's eyes: powerless, yet made in His lovely image. Love keeps me alive.

That is grace.


Psalm 103:13-14
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
