William Paul YoungI suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
About This Quote
When someone has been hurt, their first reaction is to reject that person. They would rather not have anything to do with them or be there for them at all. Grace is the idea that you can be forgiven for your mistakes and sins, even if you think they are unforgivable. When you do something wrong, God will still love you.
He does not love us because of who we are but what we are. We may not be perfect, but He loves us anyway. Grace is an act of love that God gives to everyone who accepts it.
