When our love for God becomes our highest priority, then that love helps us to love what and whom he loves.

The necessity of God’s grace for everyone should remind us that we’ve all got leaky seams.

We honor what is honorable in him because nothing gives us more pleasure than living for the One who gave his life for us.

Grace shows the love of the one who gives it and prompts love in the one who receives it.  

God makes his power visible to the eyes of the heart, so we can see by faith that he is transforming creation again.

Jesus came from God to provide the holiness we cannot attain. 

Without thanks for God’s goodness filling our hearts, our natural reflexes are selfish.

when we confess our sins with genuine sorrow, yet receive the wonder of God’s gracious pardon with thanksgiving, then the joy of the Lord becomes our strength.

Sometimes we fear to approach God, thinking it’s not appropriate to bother him with the little things. But he wants us to connect with him in everything. 

The heart humbled by grace does not send God a bill for our goodness but devotes itself to the One who paid it all.
