Grace that is greater than all my sin.

So, in this chapter Don is speaking of Grace.
Some people have no trouble accepting God's grace, others experience immense difficulty.

His reasons were pride.
My reason?

I don't believe that I am worthy of his grace.

Seriously, something as great and loving as God- giving grace to an ant like me?
Why?
I mean, I understand there is immense love going on there--- but maybe I only think I do.

Because, for someone to give their life for me?
I'm sorry, I just don't think I'm worthy of that.

It isn't that I wont accept it because I don't want his charity.
I just don't think I deserve something so wonderful as grace.

The idea of FREE GRACE to me, is...confusing.

it always has been....
I'm hoping this is something I can actually understand eventually---because I feel like this is really important to understand.

Sometimes I should read the entire chapter before I make a post.

"It was Rick's role in his relationship with God to humbly receive God's unconditional love."
I feel like that's what God is, straight up- he is love.
If he wasn't I feel like we would be completely lost.
Honestly, he has to have a lot of love, so I want to think of him as pure love, which to me is beautiful.

I need to learn how to accept his love, then I can love him in the right way in return.
That love spurs obedience and humility.
Which is what God says he wants from us.
