Snapshots from El, Inc.

Grace

When I feel so far away from Him, and am convinced beyond doubt that I deserve nothing but fire and brimstone for my rebellion, He reaches out His hands and strokes my brow - the warmth of His touch sends shivers up my spine as I realize afresh that He loves me. Not for what I do, or who I am, but simply because I exist. Father loves me not as I should be, but as I am.

I weep in His arms.

Father, lift me up away from these temptations, and make me hate all that would once again separate me from you. Help me love you.. Help me stay in Your embrace.

I need your grace.
