NOTHING can. WOW! I rely on those verses, big time, when I'm struggling in any way with my less than perfect life.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-75896469611830981282010-10-23T12:29:52.602-05:002010-10-23T12:29:52.602-05:00I certainly have been shown grace.

And sometimes that does happen, to be sure. But more frequently, the more someone is loved, the more they want to change and do better. I thank God that he chose that route with us. Yes, we should believe he knew what he was doing, choosing grace over condemnation. Where would we be otherwise?Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-92112540225340341392010-10-19T09:51:46.994-05:002010-10-19T09:51:46.994-05:00Mari-Anna,

What a Savior. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your post today also on grace:<br /><br />“Let my default mode toward others be grace, not judgment! <br />Let my default mode towards me be grace, not judgment!”<br /><br />May it be so!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-1652255671993352322010-10-19T09:08:30.221-05:002010-10-19T09:08:30.221-05:00But if we forgive, won't "they" just...But if we forgive, won't "they" just take advantage of the freedom?<br /><br />Hmmm...there's that little voice that seems to interrupt from time to time. Maybe I should replace "they" with "I" and focus on my encounter with the source of that freedom. Maybe I should remember the price He paid. Maybe I should believe He knew what He was doing when that He chose grace over condemnation.richdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465482037820480082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-50299897806896739472010-10-19T08:15:02.430-05:002010-10-19T08:15:02.430-05:00...But sin didn't, and doesn't,
