Business quotes are pretty believable.
I gotta admit: I bit.
Our flesh doesn’t know what to do with grace.
It doesn’t make any sense.
We feel more comfortable with the grind.
We feel more comfortable and in control,
and less guilty about the blessings we have
when we can say we “earned them.”
But what happens when the “rent” {the measure of success} goes up, like it always does?
What happens when we hit the point we have no more left to give?
I’ll tell ya what happens.
Because it happened to me.
And I’ve seen it happen to others
over and over again.
Stars- burn out.
They crash.
The “light” leaves. The sparkle fades.
We hit rock bottom,
feeling like the plain ol’ rocks
we were always trying not to be.
But that’s where he picks us up,
and calls us TREASURE.
He puts HIS unfading light in us.
And for the first time-
because we LEAST feel like it then-
we taste what His grace really is!
Grace is a receiving a title you didn’t have to earn.
{Because He gives those, freely.}
Grace is a place at His table,
{which is better than the best in this world!}
that you didn’t have to pay for with cash or hustle,
Because Jesus earned it for you with His own blood, sweat, and tears on the cross.
Grace is knowing that you’ll never be loved or valued or sought after by Him any more, or any less, based on your own performance. Because He called you worthy of dying for before any “journey” of yours ever even began.
The world’s success tastes sweet for a moment.
But it leaves you thirstier,
and the after taste is bitter.
Thankfully, Jesus is the best palate cleanser!
