"We don't have to make sure our life is clear of sin to find God. God has found us, regardless of our situation, regardless of our condition."
Mike Yaconelli
"But God, with the unfathomable richness of His love and mercy focused on us, united us with the Anointed One and infused our lifeless souls with life - even though we were buried under mountains of sin - and saved us by His grace."
Ephesians 2:4-5
The Gospel of Grace is not about us finding God but about God finding us. When we couldn't do anything to help or heal ourselves, God stepped into time and did everything needed to help and heal us. He did all this without our help, all by Himself. Jesus did all the work, bringing us from death into life. The Gospel of Grace tells us that no matter where we find ourselves, no matter what mess we get ourselves into, God has found us and accepts us, has loved us and heals us. Jesus is God's yes to us, a commitment to be with us no matter what, to be good to us no matter what.
A thought: His love has found me no matter where I am.
