About This Quote
The grace of God is what makes us realize our true worth. It's the ability to be good when no one is looking, when no one expects us to be good, but when we are. We all tend to think that success comes to those who work hard and deserve it because they worked hard and were good. The truth is, sometimes we have to work hard and be good, but sometimes we have to stop working so hard and being so good.
Sometimes, God will give you a great gift and you will have a pure heart and a pure soul. And, you will want to share it with everyone else. That’s what grace is all about.
Grace is giving away things that don’t belong to you, or things that you don’t deserve or even things that you don’t know how to do just yet. That’s why grace isn’t always easy. It happens when God wants something from us and we can’t give it to him in return because we don’t know how to do it yet.
But he still wants us too, so he gives us a little grace here and there until we learn how to give grace back.
