"There is a weightlessness about grace. It has the feel of a fairy tale; what makes it a very special fairy tale is that it is true."
Lewis Smedes
What if God were making no demands on you, had no expectations of you today?
What if God saw you as perfect and righteous because you really were that way?
What if God loved you with a love that you could never erase, no matter how rotten you acted or how many doubts you had?
What if God carried you through every problem of your life, whether you trusted Him all the time or not?
What if God never ever thought about your sin?
What if God had as His goal for your life not to "use" you but to simply love on you and watch your face light up when you saw that love?
What if God is never anything but totally delighted in you, never disappointed in you?
What if God was actually working to turn every rotten thing you've gone through into something good and beautiful for you?
What if God never ever punished you or was angry with you?
What if God held you in His hand and there was no way you could ever fall out, no matter what you felt, doubted, or did wrong?
What if God put absolutely no rules or conditions on you, allowing you to run free?
What if God accepted you completely - as you are - with no possibility of rejection, ever?
What if God called you His friend and loved to just hang out with you, doing whatever you enjoy doing?
What if all this is not an "if" but truth? Grace shows us that God is so much better than we have ever imagined, so that the life of grace seems almost like a fairy tale. Yet grace is a fairy tale come true, and the life we could ever only dream of having with God is actually reality!
A Thought: Grace seems too good to be true, yet IT IS.....!
