I was watching the Nooma "Lump" the other day. What a beautiful picture of God's grace.
It brought me back to places in my life when I've experienced God's grace and forgiveness. The times when I've been so ashamed of my sin and sobbed at the realization of God's grace. Romans 8. Experiencing and knowing that kind of healing and grace only comes from Him, there is no other explanation. To know that kind of grace planted a desire within my being to know Him more.
I was left with this prayer:
Father, I want to be better than average. I don't want to settle for less than the best. I don't want to be better than others, I want to be more Christlike. Genuinely. Is it possible to pursue this with such passion that it becomes wrong?
I want to BE a person of GRACE. I want to be someone that doesn't hoard the grace I've recieved but gives it joyously and generously to others. I want others to experience what I've been given.
