A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint. – J. Wesley
Of all the people God used in the bible, other than Jesus; not a one of them was perfect. HALLELUJAH!
Though we would desire they go hand in hand, expectations and reality are often far apart. We don’t always do what we know we should do or what we are expected to do. As Christians we strive for perfection or maturity in Christ – that is our daily goal. But in our humanness we sometimes fall short and that’s where grace comes in. We serve a God who will forgive us our trespasses if we repent and confess them to Him – that’s grace. And God expects us to pass that grace gift on towards others. It's one of the great benefits in building relationships, for surely someone will fail us today. It’s a gift that keeps on giving and allows us to live to the best of our ability as God’s children.
Until tomorrow……..

“But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ.” – Romans 5:20-21
