Divine Grace

Lately, the Beloved of my soul has been far too great, too magnificent, too sweet, too beautiful, too awesome for an unworthy girl like me to contain into words in this little space. So I must humbly and simply say--

Jesus.

Will we ever fully realize how in desperate need we are of Him?

I am ashamed to admit, how often I credit His majesty for my work. But the truth of it is, I am absolutely nothing but His empty vessel, and He is everything.

"The greater the perfection you aspire to have, the more dependant you must become on divine grace." -Brother Lawrence

Divine Grace. My precious Savior has woven these sacred words upon my heart lately. May it all be for Thee, precious One!

Not in my power, but His. Divine Grace.
Not according to my schedule, but His faithful daily sunrise. His plan. Divine Grace.
Not to aimlessly wander after the earth, but to follow the Shepherd. Divine Grace.
Not my worthless pleasure, but to worship in matchless wonder, to wash His feet. Divine Grace.
Not myself, but His Holy Spirit. Divine Grace.
Not within me, but in Christ. Divine Grace.
Not my sin, but His blood. Divine Grace.

"I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me: and the life I now live in the body I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." Galatians 2:20-21
